In the stillness of the night,
Echoes of my thoughts take flight,
Whispering secrets to the moon,
Beneath the stars’ soft, gentle tune.

Shadows dance upon the wall,
As memories begin to call,
Faces of the past appear,
In this moment, crystal clear.

I see the paths I did not take,
The choices made, and the mistakes,
Lessons learned and tears once shed,
All come alive within my head.

Yet, in this silent reverie,
I find a sense of clarity,
For every step has led me here,
To a place both far and near.
