The WatchTower.
All along the WatchTower
The velocity of Light was changing.
The wayward souls
would be ramping up.
The innocents would trust
and find their way.
but the confused ones,
there more for their families
and doubters than themselves,
would begin the calls for help.
Dispatches from the WatchTower
would soon commence,
rescue parties delegated
here and there,
to stay the hand of a suicide,
to touch a fevered brow,
to soothe a broken heart.
The WatchTower was preparing.
