Lost Lights

Shadows flicker along crumbling corridors
where whispers retell tales long forgotten,
echoes of the nights void of illumination.

Amongst the stars that never were,
a memory of light stirs faint beneath the dust,
carefully hidden by time's unfaltering grasp.

Are those the lights we misplaced,
or the ones that willingly slipped away?
A stream of dreams meandering through shadowed paths.
