Sifting through the sands of time
for footsteps long forgot,
smothered by the wind-blown dust,
covered by earth’s crumbling crust,
memories are stirred to life,
reach out with fingers from the past,
the graveyard yawns, remains exposed,
bygone eras, long-gone aeons,
shadow figures buried in
an avalanche of history,
bacteria, microorganisms set free.
