Shadows dance on granite walls,
Alloy steel, and painted halls.
I stand alone, a world away,
Ocean waves crashing, silent display.
Lanterns dim, October’s night,
Autumn winds, cold and white.
I look above, a starless sky,
A horizon left dormant, vacant, nigh.
A cobbled road, weary feet,
The rain drops fall, static, repeat.
I watch the dawn as lanterns fade,
Tracing the sky, I’m no longer afraid.
