Twilight is heralding
The full moon rising
Upon the denizens
Of the valley below.
All with minds of their own
Yet collectively driven
In the darkening night
To the shelter of their homes.
From here, they all look the same
Doors closed
Wrapped packages
Nothing is ever new.
As we sit upon this hillside,
You and I,
For the moment at least
We've risen beyond
The shackles and the chains.
