Into the night...

She's already seen the moon
weep, felt the empty ache
when the sun moved behind
the shadows.
She's already seen how cruel
the sun and the moon.
Though our beloved lantern
watched from afar as she
silently faded into the
dimming stars shot off into
infinity.
But will anyone notice her
last flicker of light when
she closes her eyes to dream
eternal among the ruins?
