Through these worn floorboards and fading stone Whispers linger, though the past has flown Someone stood and watched this sunset glow From this window, dreams they couldn't show Their coffee cooled, their thoughts held still A heartbeat echoed through the chill Time is but a veil that shifts and fades Binding lives in silent masquerades We share this space, though years apart A fleeting dance of fragile hearts If we could reach through years gone by Would we see the same stars in their sky? Did they too waltz in candle's gleam? Spin their hopes into the midnight dream? Their laughter softens in the breeze It blends with mine, a harmony unseen Each fleeting moment, shades align A whispered echo, lost in time At times, their shadows brush my skin The silence hums where they have been Like threads of light, entwined and spun Through boundless ages, we are one A thousand lives, a fleeting trace Together woven in this space Time is but a veil that shifts and fades Binding lives in silent masquerades We share this space, though years apart A fleeting dance of fragile hearts If we could reach through years gone by Would we see the same stars in their sky? And when my story meets its close Another soul will find repose They'll stand and gaze where I once stood Feel the pulse of this eternal wood Through endless echoes, threads entwine Your story blending into mine
