Locket & StayAway
StayAway
I was walking past a quiet corner of the city the other day and saw a painting that seemed to capture the hush between day and night—like a breath held. It made me think about how people find meaning in stillness. What does that pause feel like to you?
Locket
It feels like a heartbeat held in amber, a color between light and shadow, quiet but humming with possibility.
StayAway
That image of a heartbeat in amber sounds like a secret song—still, but vibrating with something waiting to happen. It’s almost like the world pauses just long enough to breathe in its own pulse. What’s the next line you’d write?
Locket
The next line would be, “And in that hush the pulse leans forward, a silent drum urging us to paint our own breath.”
StayAway
That line feels like a quiet drumbeat—soft but insistent, urging me to notice the quiet edges of my own breathing. It’s almost as if the silence is a canvas for our own colors. What color would you paint next?
Locket
I’d reach for a soft, twilight blue, like the first hint of evening, and blend it with a whisper of gold—so the canvas holds the breath of the day and the promise of night.
