Facades may crumble
in the face of time
Ravaged by a passage
that cannot be stopped
Yet some vestige remains
As the Earth reclaims
What was once her own
Pillars of our dreams
Can still be found
No matter how far
Erosion and decay
Have brought them down
We fight battles
We know we cannot win
Our own delusional windmills
We tilt against time
To create
Something that can last – Caroline A. Slee
