Sunlight shines, an empty shrine

Casts shadows, on pavement, dark

There is not another soul in sight

The land lays silent, vacant, stark

Fences guard, who was once kept there

No access to the mortal human being

For only spirits know the true secrets

To release his soul, forever freeing

Listen, in quiet solitude, and wait

Though you may never hear a sound

Their presence fills this empty void

With a noise, that is quite profound
