Monument

As the light fades over the city The masses head home and peace descends over the metropolis Sweet autumn evening is calling us The trees seem like scarecrows in the gathering gloom Let's see what waits for us Underneath the starlit canopy The lure of sleep is getting stronger The masses - and ourselves wait for a new and tender night Arms reach around a thousand torsos A dark monument is being built composed of our senses our dreams, our lives

And it is real scary Matt. But I believe, good will always prevail. Hope you're doing well and God bless you this holy season, Matt! Love, Annalise
