Wires & Whispers

The hum of circuits fills the air,

a quiet song of ones and zeros,

where light bleeds into glass and steel,

and data flows like rivers unseen.

We speak in clicks and coded words,

fingers dancing on silent keys,

chasing thoughts across fiber and cloud,

while time folds in the palm of our hands.

Screens glow like artificial dawn,

casting shadows on digital dreams,

where faces flicker in pixel and pulse,

and the world is closer than it seems.

But beneath the buzz and shining wires,

a heartbeat echoes, soft and slow—

reminding us that in the metal and light,

it’s the human touch we still long to know.
