Gate Ways to the Past

Digging deeper down

Far, far into the ground

A tomb

A crypt

Holds secrets of the past

Undiscovered mysteries

Hinting of a great catastrophe

Farther and farther

Rocks and stones from the beginning of time

Beauty and glory behold the aged ruins

Statues and legends cover everything

Heroes of time forgotten

Discovered with my simple tools

With my hands, I went farther down

My heart racing and sweat dripping down my face

I enter the ditch I poured my life into

I looked around and there it was

My piece of history time forgot.

Through this gate of time, I see

Things of the past, extinct trees

Pillars old and wise stood by me on every side

I gaze upward with tears and dirt on my face

I smile and say

"The secrets buried for so long

Finally, see the light of day

For thousands of years, you lay sleeping

Under my very feet

What other things are you hiding

What other mysteries?"
