A forgotten gateway, Lost in time…

As I enter an unknown world, long forgotten…
No one remembers the name of this land, once glorious, but now in ruins…
I touch the ruins, and feel the heartbeat of a dying civilization,
The air whispers songs of fallen heroes.
I walk through the ruins, as the path beckons me…

Anuradhapura (790) copy
