Steam on the Mirror

            Steam on the mirror
                    Shadows on the wall
                    Un moving
                    Signs of Civilization
                    Renewed again
                    In the wake of an
                  Autumn Rage
                  Light, and Sounds of Life
                  Across the distance
                  Resound and remind
                  Of a Power unseen
                  Unappreciated
                  Until it is wrenched from us again
                    And we are in the darkness
                    Alone
