\"before the next breath\"

 

“Ephemeral Reverie”

 

 

A pixel’s kiss, a midnight ping

That wakes you from your quiet dream.

We chase each other through glass-lit hours,

Hearts known in half-glimpses, vanish by dawn.

 

No promise carved at time’s deep root—

Just this flicker, bright and swift,

A breeze that runs through shifting leaves,

Gone before the next breath lifts.

...another version:

 

A pixel kisses, midnight pings—

they stir you from a quiet dream.

We chase each other through glass-lit hours,

our hearts half-lit in fleeting gleams,

 

vanishing always with morning’s breath.

 

No promise etched in time\'s deep root—

just this flicker, bright and swift,

a breeze runs through the shifting leaves,

gone before the next breath lifts.
