they are dead
what they once were
they are no longer
so tell me
if a glow fades
if the sun shades
if a light dims into darkness
can it ever know,
and find light again
or will it forever be in the shadows-
clawing and nipping at the edges-
of what they once were,
who they once were
and how they once shined
never again seeing themselves in the light
