15th April 2026.


Gilded Thread.

The evening arrived in shades of saffron,
spilling over the sill like a warmth;
to find the brittle remains of the afternoon.
I felt the tether of the dream pull tight,
a heavy cord of silk and ancient dust
dragging me toward the luminescence
Of the sunken sun.
I whispered your name into the quiet -
And your echo answered.
Where does the dreaming end,
And the waking begin?
