The City

I step into the darkness of the city
Pacing down the sidewalks that are broken
I look around the streets for answers
Ever searching for the light

The evening is chilled by the winds of the city
As the people huddle under the streetlights
Glass lay on the street broken
As the people cry out unanswered

For a silence has consumed the city
As they too search blankly for the answers
And the guardian of hope treads lightly
Protecting souls on the verge of breaking

There is an emptiness that fills the city
Making whole what once was broken
For in the darkness of ourselves we find answers
That carry us back to the light
