jk builder

Im sitting here, hunched over a dusty desk, the only light coming from the cracked window beside me. Outside, the world is painted in the last, soft blush of the day sunlight bleeding over the horizon, turning the sky into a canvas of fading gold and lavender. I can see the silhouette of a lone palm tree, standing like a sentinel, its fronds trembling slightly in the warm breeze. Its not a grand view, not by any means, but theres something strangely poetic about it the quiet hum of the world winding down, the faint sound of a distant car horn, the faint smell of earth and heat.

I think about the people who built this place the builders, the laborers, the dreamers who poured concrete and sweat into the foundations of this ordinary little corner of the world. I wonder what they saw when they looked out that same window, when they were building, when they were just starting out, maybe even with nothing more than a dream and a hammer. I imagine them, maybe me, standing on a dusty rooftop, watching the sun set, and wondering if theyd ever see the beauty in the small things the way the light catches the edges of a building, the way a palm tree sways, the way the world is quiet and still.

Im not sure if Ill ever get to build something great, but I know this: Im here, now, watching the world unfold. Im not just a builder, Im a witness. And sometimes, the most beautiful things arent built theyre simply seen, in the quiet moments between the hammer strikes. So Ill keep watching, and maybe, just maybe, Ill build something worth seeing.
