intro: silence’s threshold

i am crossing silence’s threshold
with every step of my journey,
i have faced its ethereal presence:
mutating, adapting, evolving,
delving in to find my voice,
the unsung verses
that rise from the stillness of my being
while i move closer to the horizon,
my eyes piercing the glowing sunset,
my heart lightened by the wind,
and words begin to materialize,
like a flowing spring,
in search of a distant,
welcoming ocean.

step by step,
defying silence.
