ஒ002/

In the deepest dark, where no star dares to breathe, it coils.

ஒ – the ancient Tamil vowel, round like the universe itself, complete, continuous, beginning and end, living in the same breath.

The dragon of light does not roar. It glows.
Blue and green, the colours of oceans not yet named, of forests not yet walked, of dreams not yet dreamed.

It circles. Not to trap, but to protect.
Coiled around the darkness like a mother around her child, guarding the one thing that matters most, the pearl.

Small. Luminous. Trembling with light.
The pearl is not a treasure.
The pearl is – a truth. A soul. The single glowing answer to every question the universe ever asked.

And so the dragon circles on
through galaxies, through silence, through time,
never resting, never leaving, because some lights are worth an eternity of protecting.

“ஒ – the sound of something whole.”
