A touch of moonlight falls

casting shadows on empty walls

Determined and strong

she searches for a place to belong

and wanders down empty halls



Perplexed by the unfamiliar drawls

she stumbles as momentum stalls

pursuing a plan that might be wrong

Moonlight falls



A kiss of frost as memories recall

promises made for the long haul

Relentless ambition her torch song

She was nothing if headstrong

like a taste of rain in a fierce squall

Moonlight falls
