Hanging Silence

The silence hangs upon the slopes of a forgotten moon,
silent craters hold the breath of time.
Memories hang, light as frost upon shadow,
and the dark fixes them with a cold lens.
Every memory is a sail without sea,
a page that will never be read.
The forgotten moon breathes stardust,
and silence counts the steps that will not return.
Should anyone pass by, listen to this quiet weight:
the silence is an extinguished lantern that does not yield.
On the slopes remains a voiceless memory,
but shines in the darkness like a small light.
