In the Shadow of 100 Summers

As sandy clouds coalesce Stardust pulses through the rampant current And I know not the story Of fragments washed ashore Of paltry particles filling the gaps Of golden grains compacted underfoot As ghosts that once imprinted the coast That have long-since been considered Time passes unevenly Left in a concealed crevice under the pier to be forgotten Untouched for four hundred seasons

So glad to hear from you again, Silent One! Things have certainly changed but I am still here. I need to log in more often for sure.
