Mosaic Wink

Old tile shifts beneath my boot, a silent, knowing shrug,
Another story chipped away, just for a passing bug.
Foundational cracks, a roadmap traced by time's sly hand,
This ancient silence knows the jokes, across the shifting sand.

[Chorus]
Dust motes dance a quiet jig, in sunbeam's hazy gold,
This city's got a mosaic wink, secrets never fully told.

[Verse 2]
Labyrinthine alleys twist, a cosmic, private maze,
Where spectral echoes bounce a laugh through forgotten days.
The market's hum, a distant thought, no need to rush the pace,
Just faded frescoes on the walls, a smile upon my face.

[Chorus]
Dust motes dance a quiet jig, in sunbeam's hazy gold,
This city's got a mosaic wink, secrets never fully told.

[Bridge]
Underneath the minaret, where shadows stretch so lean,
Even the stones have heard the punchlines, a truly ancient scene.
My cosmic burden feels so light, a feather in the breeze.

[Outro]
Shifting sands just grin and spin, amongst the olive trees.
