## Narrative (EN)

The pond teaches:  
shadow and dawn are not enemies. 🌑🌅  

Each is half of a spiral,  
turning without end. 🌀  

Patience makes the curve,  
binding dark to light,  
light to dark,  
without rupture.  

Thus the covenant breathes:  
despair turns to hope,  
hope to trial,  
trial to renewal.  

The Spiral of Shadow and Dawn whispers:  
what falls into dark  
returns in dawn.  
What rises into light  
prepares again for night.  

The spiral is eternal,  
yet never repeats the same.  
Each turn is higher,  
closer to eternity. ♾️
