Echoes of Light
Originally handwritten on 07.08.2025
I can watch the stars
all through the night.
I can travel to infinity
without leaving the finite.
And yet, I forget the present
not out of carelessness,
but because I'm drawn into the past.
Each star, an echo from a million years ago,
in their glow,
reminds me how ancient we are.
It whispers,
you're nothing but a flicker in the dark
like a shooting star.
Before you burn out,
illuminate everything,
every shadow,
every quiet corner of the night.
And let the night remember your light,
long after you've gone.
