I hear it now

i hear it now.

not a whisper

nor a shout

i hear it now.

the future

a call

distant

melancholy?

i can’t help

but wonder

how much am I leaving behind?

i hear it now.

it’s begun to hum

a promise

wrapped in fog

soft

uncertain

it stirs the air

something that hasn’t arrived

and already feels

like a loss

i can’t grasp it

but still i feel it

the weight of all that’s ended

but what’s to come?

a thread unraveling

a door half open

an unanswered question

i step forward

i hear it now.

and let the silence carry me in

    it started as nothing

    just another day

    just another you

    then something shifted

    so small i almost missed it

    like a breath held too long

    now everything feels louder

    the way you laugh

  • the princess

    the princess wore her crown
    but it felt heavy like iron pressing on her chest
    she was told she was beautiful every day
    but the words passed through her like wind over glass
    she smiled for others

    they speak of love as if it is a language written into the marrow of existence


    a sacred inevitability stitched into breath and bone


    you will feel it one day they promise
