The Island of the Drowned Stars-Light That Learned to Whisper

Somewhere past the edge of time

Where the stars forget to shine

I found a voice without a name

Falling slow, but not in flame

It whispered warmth, it sang of rain

Of lovers left, of quiet pain

It said “I lived, but no one knew”

And vanished in a shimmered hue

I hold the light that learned to whisper

Catch the echoes as they fade

In this skyless, glowing winter

Where the stars come down afraid

And I stay, just to remember

What the dying tried to say

He walked alone, the silent one

Gathering light from falling suns

He said, “Each fire holds a breath—

A final thought before their death”

So if you’re lost and feel the night

Pressing in without a light

Know that somewhere in the black

There’s a soul who listens back

I hold the light that learned to whisper

Catch the echoes as they fade

In this skyless, glowing winter

Where the stars come down afraid

And I stay, just to remember

What the dying tried to say

So fall, if you must

Fall into the dust

But leave behind

Your final kind

Of light
