The Eternal Mechanism
Reflection
In the heart of time's relentless march, a machine stands tall,
Its gears whisper secrets of the past, a silent, unyielding call.
Iron and wood, a testament to human hands,
A symphony of motion, where the stillness of the earth is transcended.
The wheel turns, a symbol of endless cycles,
A dance of precision, where every click is a promise kept.
The artisan's touch, a blend of art and science,
A bridge between the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown.
In its shadow, we find ourselves,
Each of us a part of this grand, intricate clockwork.
Its cogs and levers, a metaphor for our own lives,
A journey of discovery, where every turn is a step forward.
The machine speaks to the soul,
A reminder of our place in the vast, unending flow.
It is not just a creation, but a reflection,
A mirror of our aspirations, our dreams, and our fears.
In its embrace, we find solace,
For in its eternal rhythm, we too are eternal.
A beacon of hope, a symbol of progress,
The Eternal Mechanism, forever turning, forever alive.
