A Dream

We walk in silence,

Holding back

betraying breath.

We walk alone,

And yet...

A shadow joins us,

Walks in our steps,

And shyly hides

behind the marble

Of monuments,

dark pillars, stairs.

It joins our steps,

Unseen,

unheard

Walks silently,

Yet in accord

An echo of our

secret dream.

We walk alone

Through halls of time,

We dream alone,

We dare not speak...
