Beginnings & Endings

I have been here since time immemorial.

I have seen beginnings and endings.

Births and deaths.

Dawn and Twilight.

Empires rise,

And then they fall.

One common thread…

Running though the fabric of time.

In any day and any age,

None do more damage to humankind.

Than humankind itself.

    1. Indeed not. Everything is one big cycle.
      As the saying goes – all this has happened before, and all will happen again.
