Cobblestones To Remember

The light turned red

And so I stopped

To stare at the cobblestones on which I walk

Strewn with the blood of a man I did not know.

I bend down to look closer but,

Then I hear a song.

A melody of joy and laughter fill the air

And I begin to dance

I twirl around and around as the music soars

And a man joins me

To dance on the cobblestones

Strewn with the blood of a man I did not know.

It goes on.

Day becomes night.

Night becomes day.

And we continue to dance

As we stoke the flames to keep the darkness at bay

And listen to the wolves howling in the distance.

I look up at the sign.

The light had turned green.

The music had stopped.

The howling was gone.

And I had moved on.

Leaving behind the cobblestones

Strewn with the blood of a man I did not know.
