Song for the Forgotten Gate

Originally posted at https://dsserv.net/poetry/forgottengatesong/.

A poem quickly written for a forum thread over at Melonland Forums.

At midnight’s hush, a rusted gate
Creaks softly as it contemplates
A thousand steps that passed before
Faded laughter, hopes, and more.
Alone it stands in weedy rest,
A silent guardian, at its best.
