A clockwork sun of rusted steel,
Enclosing what we truly feel—
A heavy, pulsing, crimson art,
The engine of a locked-away heart.
Beneath a sky of quiet dust,
Where thorny branches fade to rust,
A lonely traveler stands alone,
Upon a path of sand and stone.
Yet high above the barren ground,
Where not a single breath is found,
The fragile wings of transformation rise,
To scatter hope across the sepia skies.
