Timeless Replica

In eons past the trip was planned.  Engineers and artists built sturdy, a symbol just in case
Practice-runs of engines, materials and design, were left in place as a marker at their base

A hop, then a skip to a new world from the old, assured their symbol would not be defaced
On arrival in a desert, a replica was built, reflecting a potent symbol that time has not erased

I see you entered the contest about this! Good one, Audrey. And yes, health care is so expensive, you have to be a millionaire today to get a serious disease. It's all very disheartening. LUv, Andrea
