Stains Of Air

In the ocean’s depths, my mental foot, 
A wanderer’s imprint on cosmic shores,
Where starlight weaves its silver thread,
Guiding me through tempests and ancient wars.

What am I seeking in this realm of woes,
Where scents and breezes whisper secrets?
Perhaps redemption, or forgotten dreams,
Lost like driftwood in the tides’ currents.

Once, I thrived when you were absent,
A solitary echo in the vast expanse,
A stain of air beneath circling vultures,
Feeding on remnants of hope and chance.

To be human—a fragile existence,
Each heartbeat, an alignment of pains,
Yet the gift of words, a double-edged sword,
For silence harbors truths beyond confinement.

And so, I grapple with existence’s paradox,
Yearning for meaning, yet fearing the void,
In this cosmic dance, my soul pirouettes,
Balancing on the edge where stars die.
