When the Horizon Burns Away
Whispers of farewell on the last road home

The end is not a silence,
but a door half-open,
a wind that whispers of journeys
we are too afraid to take.
The streets grow quieter,
their neon veins dimming,
and the city exhales
like a giant forgetting its own name.
I walk where shadows dissolve,
where endings taste like ash and fire,
and I ask the night:
is this loss,
or is it the raw edge of freedom?
Every farewell holds a seed—
something waiting to be born
from the collapse of what we knew.
And in the hush,
where the old world falls apart,
a new horizon glows faintly,
like a candle trembling in the dark.
So let the end come,
not as terror,
but as a gateway—
a final turning of the key
to the wild mystery beyond.
