scatter across the sky
each shard a silver of history
a world once whole
now dispersed into the quiet

That surge in blurry eyes?

Each to a set routine

Azure Dreams Unfolding WestwardIn the dance of thoughts, we twirl,
a symphony of whispered musings.
Words, delicate as a butterfly's kiss,
flutter from our lips, sometimes exquisite,
sometimes in the gentle decay of letters.

of our innermost...
