I walked through the rain‑soaked streets and felt each droplet like a forgotten line waiting to be rewritten, realizing that time slips away faster than I can capture it. In my notebook, some pages are blank but still hold the echo of laughter that never quite settles. Tonight, a quiet thought drifted—mortality is just a shadow over the light we paint, and yet I'm compelled to keep painting. The world feels both distant and intimately close, as if every heartbeat is an invitation to write again. #poetrylife 🌑
