Every breath taking time closer to something that was
A center enfolded on both sides by the rise and fall
An empire forgotten washed away in the shores of eternity
This heartbeat of the universe hidden in a glance
A grain of sand to keep the balanced scales from tipping
A soul of stone wedged to stop the crumbling of gateways
Dotted among the paths of life's narrow halls
They are arches that lead to nowhere and everywhere at once
Doorways that lead to the palms of the gods
Where one can learn the secrets of the centuries
And feel the pain of innocents and soldiers in the currents
Mixed and mingled blood that glues the past to the future
Stopping nature's ebb and flow
In the kiss of trees touching sky.
