Evidence of Design
This watch is broken,
cracked and crushed by some unknown force,
washed up on some forgotten shore.
It was made to tell time,
but it speaks a silent testament of
its creators.
In the vastness of this small, fragile world,
this small fragile thing is all that remains of us.
We were cracked and crushed by time,
generations faded to dust,
because our ambition exceeded our humility.
Who knows what new life these seas will birth?
I pray they will do better.
