Evolution
Steel strains to recall its sky,
its place, once there, now lost.
Your wings graze the earth—
the world shifted you without remorse,
from stone to soil, from then to now.
Moved, like all that leaves without goodbye,
you crumble, swallowed by silence.
Forgotten hands once shaped you—
dreams vanishing in silence.
What once stood for growth now bows to time;
and in silence, time persists.
How long before the earth reclaims your steel—
as you disappear, grain by grain?
And what once stood strong
surrenders to the wind’s soft pull.
