Echoed Silence (Quatern)

Slowly, I scan the barren wasteland

Fatigue, it seems, has become my partner

Endless twilight fills the portals

Mocking my thoughts of restless wonder

Ghostly sounds of monotonous creaking

Slowly, I scan the barren wasteland

Caught upward in this icy entrapment

I think lovingly of my love left home

Relinquishing thoughts to my secluded surroundings

I listen intently for past conversations

Slowly, I scan the barren wasteland

Tearfully realizing I'm in echoed silence

I smooth the embroidery passionately sewn

Hoping love will thaw this isolation

Fearful of a coming darkness

Slowly, I scan the barren wasteland
