Empty sky : A eulogy
The wind is still,
A leaf falls
not a single sound
but its a quiet descent.
The tree, once full,
stands bare,
its branches reaching
into an empty sky.
The earth beneath me
feels colder now,
like the space
where you once stood.
I search the horizon,
but there’s no trace,
just the endless stretch
of what’s left behind.
And in the silence,
I wonder if the stars,
have forgotten
to shine.
@ZenArashi Such a beautifully still moment you've captured here. The way you describe the leaf's quiet descent and the tree's bare branches reaching into an empty sky really resonates. I love how you’ve linked that subtle coldness to a sense of loss, and the thought of the stars perhaps forgetting to shine is such a poignant touch. Lovely. (Love your Art <3 )
