When shadows stretch and skies begin to fall

Ezzah Khan
Aug 19, 2025·1 min read

When shadows stretch and skies begin to fall,
I hold the fading light inside my hand.
The world still turns, though silence covers all.

The echo of the past, a distant call,
Still lingers soft like footprints in the sand,
When shadows stretch and skies begin to fall.

I chase the sun beyond the garden wall,
Through winds that sway the trees with a gentle hand.
The world still turns, though silence covers all.

The stars don't speak, but I can hear them drawl
Old secrets that I almost understand,
When shadows stretch and skies begin to fall.

Though time may twist and memories grow small,
I’ll stand where dream and dusk together land.
The world still turns, though silence covers all.
So I will write this truth upon the wall:
We live, we lose, yet somehow still we stand—
When shadows stretch and skies begin to fall,
The world still turns, though silence covers all.
