Before the light, before the breath,Before the dance of life and death,There lay a silence, deep and vast,A future shadowed, overcast. No star had sparked in velvet dark,No time had left its fleeting mark,Just endless still, a formless haze,The universe's unlit maze. Then came a tremor, small and slight,A stirring in the endless night,A point …
At dawn the silent water softly sighs, A lotus stirs beneath the amber sky, Unfolding where the shadowed river lies. From ancient mud it lifts its crown on high, A fragile flame that night could not confine, As first light paints its petals warm and dry. Each silken fold awakens line by line, A breath …
They say—so the elders whisper in the stoa when the oil burns low—that beyond the thinning groves of Attica there lies a place no hymn reaches.

The traveler stepped into the highway rest stop, the heavy glass door hissing shut with a sound like a final breath.

It’s about creating, competing, and slipping into worlds that feel just as real as the one outside my window. …
The air in the hypostyle hall isn’t air anymore. It’s a tongue—thick, dry, licking the salt from my back. We’re not supposed to be here after dusk. But the overseer’s whip had a splinter, and I bled on the Pharaoh’s stone. So now I wait. Kneeling. Knees in the dust that tastes of old copper. …

When April weeps with slow and silver rain,And skies wear gray like mourning for the sun,The blossoms shiver on the windowpane,Their fragile joy cut short before begun.
