At first, it's only silence —
a hush between mountains.
Then, light seeps gently through the mist,
carrying a promise I don't yet understand.
The wind carries a voice I can't name,
like a question I cannot answer —
so I follow the echo it leaves behind,
heart open, unguarded.
And then, the water finds me,
turquoise and still as a forgotten dream.
I watch reflections fade and return,
as if the lake remembers
something the wind once whispered.
