Crunching crystal snow-snaps
Beneath the slow and somber feet

Clouds hiss like rising
   smoke, across a cold and
barren sky
   Wind whips and howls
like souls of the
   tormented

   A silence penetrates,
      reverberates, and resonates
   with echoes in the gloom
      The final fading phantoms of
   forgotten flesh

      Cracked and crumbling
         Fitful restless hallways
      Paced by the unseen
         feet from long ago

         Battered, bent, and broken doors
            Shattered panes of dusty glass
         Quiet tombs that had once
             heaved with life

      Whispers from the
         broken desks
      snared from little, crumpled notes
         Passed from hand to youthful hand
      Relics drowned in dark dust-motes

   But to a few
      this was much more
   than a cold and
      empty place
   Back in a world that lived
      behind the glassy eyes
   it breathed!

Oh, but that was
Many years ago

And as each player moves their piece, confident and tall
They forget that they can move themselves, in the greatest game of all
