## Emporium Shadows

Step into the Emporium, my friend,  
Where the lanterns glow like captive stars.  
Each stall is a doorway—each trinket a poem—  
And the air is thick with the perfume of longing.  
  
You seek gold? You seek silk?  
Or do you seek the thing you do not yet name?  
For hidden among the spices and gems,  
Lies a mirror, waiting for your gaze.  
  
Trade wisely, beloved,  
For some leave richer,  
And some leave carrying only their shadow.

🖤

[**Emporium*](https://x.com/james%5Fcutley/status/1895765145940631944?ref=cjb.today) *is the* [**#vss365*](https://x.com/james%5Fcutley/status/1895765145940631944?ref=cjb.today) *word of the day. An interesting word to try and bring a spiritual twist. I hope I did it justice?*
