the centers within,     they sing from where you          stand. ⠀     stained-glass bones echo hymns     only silence understands. ⠀     as your shadow loops infinity     🕯️     a candle flickers,     prayers rise like light feathers,     moonlight on the pews—     ghosts kneel in the darkened haven. ⠀     I breathe in their harmonic echoes,     my heartbeat not     a bell,     swinging across midnight’s spine,     calling to no one... ⠀     Meanwhile stars gather at my ribs,     choirs blooming in the marrow,       the narrow road—     I should step forward. ⠀     ……… ⠀     taking the step     through the cathedral of it all,     trying to feel the real     without becoming the unreal. ⠀     do I feel real now,     or just closer to the edge ⠀     like it’s been waiting     this whole time     for me to forget     how to be unreal. ⠀     I unfold within     as silence opens up     the resonance of my intent.
