Anchors of Light

Traversing the path means traversing the dark.
Mist blinds but moonlight hue
brightens from dark to blue
showing outlines of cobblestone path
leading to uncertain destinations
stirring thoughts of hidden things.

But fear disperses as two lampposts appear
rising perfectly towards sky
irrefutable evidence of human ingenuity and mind
anchors of light
giving relief in midst of the lonely unknown.
