Free Article 2 (Sept. 24, 2025): When the Light Fades from Familiar Places

From sterile corridors to shifting light on the floor, Andrew captures the tender stillness of decline — when everything noisy fades and only love remains. In the fading of strength and certainty, he finds a subtler, eternal brightness that asks nothing but presence.

The Broken Bridge

## **The Broken Bridge** _by OSAiGBOVO_ It is normal for bridges to erode, Time takes what hands once built. Stone crumbles, rope loosens, The years press down like silt. Islands face each other in silence, Neither mourns the widening sea. What joined once is now forgotten, And the tide obeys no memory. I walk the shore with quiet steps, The path behind me gone. No curse, no prayer, no bitterness… Only the knowledge of moving on.
