Silent sentinels
Call meaning from the void
Sheet music written in the sky
To be heard by the deaf
Long dead those wishes
From snuffed candles that still give light
For what the stars have laid claim
Will be taken with time
Their mark is your symbol
A sign given each age
Pareidolia given life
Autonomy given as concession
Giver of luck
Taker of fate not granted
Unrequited faith
That faith recanted
My wish to grant
As you fall
That you sleep like the gods
In your rightful torpor
