when

did we forget we were the ones telling this lore?

did our most sacred making become just beautiful decoration?

did the hands that built empires stop signing their own work?

did the most ancient living culture on earth become an afterthought in its own story?

long ago,
without realising.



and then we never asked
what it would take to find our way back
