Sand
I generally try to keep a low profile.
I was never one to become fixated with my identity.
It is true, I may consist of leftover scraps,
crumbs of half-eaten civilisations long perished,
But make no mistake.
I am powerful. I can become anything I want,
and I can survive the harshest conditions.
So look out for me if you want to learn about your past.
because I befriend conflict and chaos
I thrive where the hammer meets the stone,
where the sea and earth settle their differences.
And I wait, patiently, until they have annihilated each other,
Because I am all that remains.
I am the destruction, and I am the hope.
The supernova, and the stardust.
