This piece may might have good 1/f fluctuation characteristic although I stopped investigating it each piece.

My new message: "Does it make sense to preserve it for 1000 years?"

Today's cover ART is created by #Midjourney (Art Generating #AI), according to my wish. Happy if you like it.

Fast Fading Violets Covered Up In Leaves - #3709 (827 Left) By Chair House 240209

Nebel Lang - Why Should I Stay?  

1. (situate)
2. like riddles
3. filled with sound

--

Something must have happened in my life.
Pondering questions like riddles, calm and collected.
Wondering where all the hours went,
I once had spent here,
looking at myself a bit puzzled.

Something must have caught my attention,
immersed into a different assignment, perhaps.
This precious time in between,
that is now filled with sound and ripe reality.

I Can't Believe We're Still Together

Through veils of memory and flame, two spirits move in silent symmetry, bound by something older than time itself. Fragments of radiance linger in the spaces between them: unspoken vows, reflected strength, the calm in every storm. When the world fractures and the light fades, what remains is the pulse of trust, unbreakable, glowing softly beneath the ruins of eternity.
