Sentinel

…..

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 12 months ago Updated 12 months ago 1 min read

A lone sentinel

Floats above in airless void

No relief in sight

…..

Tasked with keeping watch

Ensuring no danger comes

From vastness of space

…..

Yet can only watch

As we destroy from within…

He cries in despair
