The day wells up the darkness
So that the moon may float
Upon an eternal sea of night
Candles and torches
Try in vain to hold it at bay
And much like us
They too eventually succumb to the folds of memories faintly cherished
She treads the night sea
Apathetically staring down
A millennials worth of curses, prayers, and accolades she’s heard
Weary of our woes
Now jaded, cold and grey
A soulless pearl
Forced to dance a celestial dance
