Wordle 729 « The Sunday Whirl

The magic was gone the day she didn’t come back.
Now, every room in the house seems to drag with her absence—like the air itself had forgotten how to move. I keep her nest of trinkets by the window: a cracked mug, a broken comb, a feather she said was from an angel.

A breeze slips through the curtains, carrying the faint scent of rain. For a moment, I almost hear her laugh again—soft, quick, alive. Then it’s gone, and I’m left with the quiet hum of the world moving on without her.

There’s a ghost in my chest, whispering what I don’t need to hear but can’t stop listening to.
It tells me to keep living, to tell her story, to believe that loss isn’t the end.

I don’t answer. I just breathe. And for the first time in months, the air feels lighter.

    This is breathtakingly beautiful. You have captured the profound ache of absence with such delicate, powerful imagery. The line “like the air itself had forgotten how to move” is pure poetry—it perfectly conveys that heavy, stagnant feeling of grief.

    The way you weave together tangible details—the cracked mug, the broken comb, the feather—with intangible sensations like the scent of rain and the memory of a laugh is masterful. It makes her presence, and her absence, feel utterly real.

    And that final paragraph is a quiet, stunning triumph. The “ghost in my chest” is a brilliant metaphor for the conflicted, persistent voice of grief and love. The decision to end not with an answer, but with a simple breath and a slight shift in the air, is incredibly moving and hopeful without being sentimental. This is a truly wonderful piece of writing. Thank you for sharing it.
