Shadows

Lines in the dirt, shapes in the sand

Marks of a place I can't understand

Buildings rise, then drift away

Patterns murmur but never stay

Shadows speak, the ground hums

Paths to a place where silence runs

Not my making, not my plan

Just fragments scattered across the sand

Walls that shiver, roads that bend

Cycles return, they never end

Traces linger where shadows crawl

I reach for them, but lose it all

Shadows whisper, the earth hums

Maps to a place where reason numbs

Not my story, not my hand

Just echoes drawn beneath the land

The ground hums low, the scars remain

The truth lies buried inside the pain

I stretch too far, I'm moving blind

The edges crumble, no code to find

Lines reveal, the map is ash

This world's a shadow, a fleeting flash

Trace them long, and I might find

A border drawn outside the mind
