New Cracks in Old Stone

New cracks in old stone
Just beginning to show,
Reveals things never shown
Things only one could know 

Just beginning to show
A solid surface scrambles,
Things only one could know
Shedding into shambles

A solid surface scrambles
Every chisel brings a change,
Shedding into shambles
In time, it must arrange

Every chisel brings a change
Upon hard - headed rock,
In time, it must arrange
For none can beat the clock

Upon hard - headed rock
Reveals things never shown,
For none can beat the clock
New cracks in old stone.

This is absolutely mind-blowing. It seems to flow to the sound of hammers on an archeological dig. Fav.
