Morning mist breathes slow-
a quiet room listens
to the echo of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


The window waits
with patient glass,
holding a sky that has forgotten voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Three sparrows pass,
their wings like brief thoughts
brushing the silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tea cools beside the page.
Steam fades upward-
a ghost of warmth leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


In the garden
one fallen leaf turns slowly,
learning the language of stillness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


No footsteps arrive.
Even the clock
ticks more gently here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Yet in this hush
something soft awakens-
a hidden pulse beneath the quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Loneliness once stood here
like an empty chair,
staring across the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But solitude
is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


It is the long breath
between two waves of the sea,
a space where the heart remembers itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Wind moves through bamboo-
not to break the silence,
but to shape it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


And I remain,
not lost in the quiet,
but held by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
