Reclamation

We glide through the doors
Of an ice chateau,
Preserved forever
In it's frozen glory.

We walk down the streets
Of a crumbling city,
Keepsake of ages past;
A fading daguerreotype.

We stumble through the ruins
Of deserted decadence,
Resplendent in former glory;
Relic of time immemorial.


Whispers of a forgotten people,
Bound forever in Stone and Steel,
Emanate from the works of all that was,
To fall like Autumn leaves,
On ears that no longer listen.
