Billions of years on this ancient sphere,

Yet so much lost.

I ponder the shadows of our distant past,

What wonders existed, how long did they last?

Strange beings roamed, in realms unknown,

Ninety-nine percent veiled in obscurity,

Can we unveil it, unravel the mystery?

I yearn to witness the treasures untold,

What the past held.

Discover the secrets, make them alive,

But like a sand drawing, 

There swept away by the wave

With no trace left behind.
