Colossus in the Night Clouds

A giant brow of stone weighs down the night, While moonlight threads the clouds with ash and gleam. A temple crowns the hill in silvered light, And stillness holds the lake like muted dream. One traveler stands where darkened waters sigh, As thunder sleeps inside the vaulted gray. The titan’s gaze is carved across the sky, And time turns soft, then slowly drifts away.
