The test of time <br />The taste of immortality <br />Though Anachronistically incongruous - <br />A monumental testament <br />To our past capabilities <br />Mocking and challenging <br />Our technological superiority <br />And sense of aesthetics. <br />Wafting in an aura of history <br />From a remote and intangible past, <br />This masterpiece, has engraved on its exterior, <br />Painstaking attention to detail <br />And an unquenchable hunger for perfection <br />While remembering those master craftsman, <br />It is time to sit down and take stock <br />Of what we have gained <br />And what we have lost<br /><br />leonard daranjo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/1-mukteshwar-temple-a-responsorial-psalm/
