Can't Open the Door

Over yonder trees are stirring

Branches cracking. Gears turning.

What walks out there?

Something’s purring

Knees tremble

Cogs whirring.

Long the wait

Four towers burning

Clacking. Breaking.

Wide eyes searching

White sky, blue sky, red sky

Yearning.

Steel beams screeching

Code’s not working
