Whispers of the Silence

[Intro] In the whispers of the silence, I hear the arcane Echoes unravel, cryptic and arcane A tapestry woven from the absence of rest Where the soul meets its quiet quest [Verse 1] Behind the monolith of survival, shadows reside Each stone a testament, each scar a guide In spectral hands and muted tones I confide Among phantasmal crowds, with solitude I abide Inward implosion, a clandestine undoing A masquerade smile, fear subtly brewing Anchored earthbound, celestial realms forgot Beneath hidden plumage, wings in sly thought [Pre-chorus] Your incantation froze the temporal stream A cessation of mending, cessation of dream No chase for flight, nor bid to run far A sentinel presence beneath an unflinching star [Verse 2] Yearning for the tangible amidst spectral light Awaiting the presence in shadows of night To flinch from hope’s ethereal hand Bound by history’s silent command Guardians not felled by the din of war But silence echoes in the core Declared “I’m here,” without demand of haste An ethereal stasis where souls interlace [Pre-chorus] Glimpsing through fractures, your gaze won’t stray Whispered “Freckled angel” even as skies turn gray Unfurling within, a hidden dawn Where the soul meets the as-yet unknown
