The Pendulum Petals

A decade of dreams, pressed beneath time’s patient weight, Begins to stir the morning Laya finds the letter— Left on her dressing table, unassuming yet impossible to ignore. Penned in a hand nearly forgotten, its words reach past memory’s edge, Tugging at something older than understanding. What she reads doesn’t simply pose questions— It repositions the sky she thought was hers. Breath stalls. Thought stumbles. The world leans sideways. In search of something unnamed, Laya slips through borrowed selves— Drawn by feelings too vast to name. And here, where sensation unravels into symbol and shape, The metaphors arrive—unbidden, exact.
