The Kingdom of Silence

In the pause between your breath and mine, a kingdom rises from the nothing— unmapped, unstudied, alive with its own architecture of air.

We name things to kill their wildness. Even now, language is a fist unclenching, releasing what the mouth could not hold. The space remembers what we forget.

Watch how silence drinks the light, how it holds more than any word ever could— the way a cup holds water but also the thirst that made us pour it.

There is a map written in blank pages. There is a voice in the distance between bells. We are always walking toward the place we left behind, calling it by a new name.
