Starless Knight

 

I stand alone

watching the starless sky.

Upon my temple

Weiry windows to my soul,

Still seeking

the last rays of hope,

Burn 

With guttering ember.

You stand beside me,

For but a moment.

Knowing

none will approach my watch,

the wolf abates.

you warm yourself

and are gone

by days embrace.

I stand alone

the temple crumbles,

in silence 

I fall.
