A Silent Melody Dissolved in Wind and Snow

She dreamed again.

In the dream, she stood beneath the endless northern sky while a deep violet despair descended like freezing sea water. The world had been woven from countless pure and gentle dreams, but as long as souls could still be wounded, sorrow could still gather weight.

She did not raise a hard crystal barrier.

She understood too clearly that a rigid surface could reflect light, but it could not dissolve grief. So she chose acceptance and softness. She released the sharpness that had once protected her and let a silent melody rise between heaven and earth.

Snow began to fall.

Not as cold punishment, but as a slow and tender dispersal. The white petals in her hands became light. Her outline softened. The despair that had threatened to swallow everything was drawn into a long, gentle sleep.

By dissolving, she did not vanish meaninglessly.

She left behind a pure ground color for later wings of thought to dance upon.
