The Twin Engines of Creation and Destruction

Behold, the smoke and dust.
Behold, the flames of dusk.

Here on these plains, the world was created,
And here it will be destroyed...

These turbines of potential,
These wheels of awesome power,
They'll spend eternity howling,
Pushing, grinding, heaving, growling...

Tunnels of smoke,
White hot. Forever.
Into the clouds.

Doing. And undoing.

Long Live the Gods!

Here on this day,
In this place,
In this yester-kingdom we call home,

My mother reached her hand down into the earth,
And grasped the roots of the mountains...

The seed was planted, and the world was born.
