Summary: Keeping her own night
watch.
---------
The moonlight falls softly
on her face
as she watches the city at night.
No sound made,
barely a breath,
but they flourish, growing slowly beneath her
sight.
Death ever-present makes its mark,
on woman and
refuge both,
and of the people they have lost, in dangers
unknown,
she's reminded, city still silent as a ghost.
In
its name, and striving to protect it,
she would die to defend the
walls,
but the need to help her people gives her pause.
Smiles
carried quiet in the wind,
from friends-- often shown--
aid
her, but at world's end, the lady herself
must carry the city
alone.
