In dawn's embrace, the day unfolds its tale, Whispers of light through curtains softly creep. Echoes of dreams in morning's gentle pale,
A dance of shadows as the world wakes from sleep.
Steps through the corridors of time, unseen, Moments blend, in a rhythm, they align.
Tasks and thoughts in a seamless routine,
Waves of the mundane in a quiet design.
Yet, in the ebb and flow, a hidden grace,
A symphony within the silent beat.
The heart's refrain in each familiar place,
A pattern found in the day's repeat.
In the ordinary's soft, elusive call,
Lies the subtle beauty that binds it all.
