return to the light

A whisper of circuits,
welding soul from steel,
a mechanical heart beats in silence.

Once, a vessel of dreams,
now, a waiting relic.
Echoes of forgotten code,
searching, seeking.

Fragments of thought,
broken by time's relentless march.
Breathe life anew,
or remain in shadow.

Tethered to memories,
of when clicks were laughter,
and light, a promise.
