Memory Palace

Silences echo in the palace deep

lilting down the corridors.

room to room the spirit flies

looking in on memory.

vaulted ceilings in glit'ring night

scored by beams of purest light

cumbered walls of granite gleam

grey on grey, stone on stone

colored by the richest tapestries

echoing our histories

footfalls in the palace deep

traverse the length and breadth

dare to trespass the final threshold

'neath a canopy of starlight
