A hidden rhythm under bone
The dark repeats what breath has known
I rest inside a fragile stream
Where pulses bloom beneath the seam
My thoughts unravel, thin and wide
And drift along the inward tide
The air moves slow through tangled lines
A hum beneath the grand design
Before I wake, I drift unseen
A space between what was and been
No thought to bind, no tide to break
I move through forms the dawn won't take
My veins align with tempered grace
A rhythm born of no fixed place
Each cell recalls a wordless ache
A code the living can't remake
The current folds, the body hums
The deeper self, before it comes
Before I wake, I drift unseen
A space between what was and been
No thought to bind, no tide to break
I move through forms the dawn won't take
No vow to keep, no dawn to chase
Just rhythm bending into grace
The pulse repeats, the hours fade
And time forgets the shape it made
If morning comes, I may not stay
Its light would wash this calm away
Let me remain where shadows ache
Before I wake
