Left Out

Broken by the 
winds of time
    Left out 
  in the frosty solitude
where I never 
   expected to be
      Did you see the lights 
as they danced on the 
        waters?
  Perhaps we can work 
  together and build 
 something 
      to float on those 
waters 
   before darkness
covers us altogether
and we are 
  left with 
only shreds of 
what we once loved
