Silhouette of Pale Light

___________ The curtain of torn promise Falls in a flood of darkness Forging amid confusion Searching a desolate path The desperate vagabond Stumbles through the cold fortress Lost in the shadows of night ___________________________________

So bittersweet, as if viewing a sad painting, and feeling the emotions of a lost soul. Well done, Rick!
