  • a misty darkness

    The light flickered again
    a misty darkness swallowed me
    I tread the old
    worn cobblestones

    Seeing only the backsides of quiet buildings
    I found myself alone in a crowded city.

    A bird called my name
    was it just the echo in my mind.

    I turned
    Thinking I saw you there
    at the edge of the shadows

    Calling to you
    it echo empty in the night
    Tightening the cloak around me
    I walked on.

    Above my head
    a tear in the mist widened
    allowing the moonlight through
    and I walked stronger
    knowing you were with me.
