on a debris of sirens to the tune
of your wordless eyes

so real, and masked unseen behind a veil of virgin

Children growing older
Every minute

The king walked over to his window and looked over his kingdom.
It lay below him, sparkling in all it's silver beauty
And as he watched, it seemed to come alive with people
Shining like silver in the warm sun

A tear rolled down his quietly down his cheek
