 Title: Whispers on Paper

A lonely echo has entered my soul

and I can't count how many words I'm crushing today.

I hang my thoughts on the ends of the page

so I can hear the flow of swift poetry.

And just yesterday, silence was like dust

on old books? Unless it was a dream?

Why did she come, what is she looking for here?

To understand her intention is true art.

"The echo of silence is a pale shadow of the past,"

my grandmother used to say. On this night, it stays within me

and refuses to leave. Why is it that,

longing for happiness, I lose hope somewhere?
