From the fertile loam of a quiet mind,
the roots of old grief untangle and reach,
tracing pathways through a starlit void
to a language the throat could never teach.
The ribs part gently, a broken cage,
where wild gardens bloom in the dark—
and the heavy weight of a human heart
unfurls the wings of a sapphire spark.
Suspended between the stone and sky,
she surrenders the weight of what has been,
transmuting the ache of the pulling earth
into a flight that breathes from within.
