Folds of Memory

The room is never empty; it’s a breath of sail.
Through curtain folds, memories gain wings of light.
Luminous insects guard the air like tiny lanterns.
Each gust of wind ignites a story that won’t fade.
They are minute stars traversing time’s deep weave.
They rest upon the edges, whispering secrets of rooms afar.
The house contains them, and night grows into a forest of light.
So the room stays full, until the dawn rips through the screen.
