Silhouette at Dawn

Date:

Comments:

At the heart, upon a timeless stump,
A peacock rests—dark, sculpted, still;
A living myth in gentle slump,
Crowned by dawn’s unspoken will.

No color speaks, yet all is said,
In this surreal, breath-held scene;
Where form outlives the hues it shed,
And silence turns profoundly keen.

Here, meaning rises without sound,
From edges soft and borders true;
In silhouette, the soul is found—
When light is less, and seeing, new.
