Stellar traces, softer and thinner,
In a sky that once glowed in wonder,
Now, I stand beneath a canvas, emptying,
Eyes searching, aching,
For a flicker, a spark, a memory,
In the cold breath of a dying night.
Each star, once known by name,
Now fades like echoes of a song,
Swallowed by silence,
One by one,
I count them as they flicker and fall,
Light turned to shadow,
Hope melting into the dark.
I walk these empty streets,
A ghost in a city of memories,
Concrete shapes tremble beneath my footsteps,
Wind rushes through broken windows
And carries stories of a world past,
Lost people, shared dreams,
Now trapped, like dust in the air.
Loneliness wraps around me tight,
A cloak of twilight,
As I lie beneath this vast, heavy sky,
With each dim star, I feel the weight
Of a thousand lost voices,
A chorus of singing farewell.
This is my ritual,
As the universe grows quiet,
I bow my head for those fading lights,
Once bright, now just memories,
Stellar traces that will dissolve,
Together with my own self,
More and more -

You should try sandy bay- I'm not into that kind of thing, but Clifton isn't bad- for the stinking rich. Each to his own.
