Fragile, obscure buried deep,
discovered by the one who seek,
it's a relic of a bygone era,
where it was valued and loved.
And here it is out on display,
with missing patterns and images,
handled carefully, avoiding damages,
to let us learn part of our heritage.
So I watched it with curiosity,
wondered who had owned it,
dreams they had, how they lived,
what role it played in their life.
A simple pottery or decoration,
used by a common man or a noble,
being void of any indications,
it was open to many speculations.
Even then, it signified a period,
of nascent stage of civilization,
where it was kept as a keepsake,
forgotten now with the passage of time.
It's a testament of their wishes,
being placed within those objects,
to be accompanied by loved ones,
in their afterlife or future incarnations.
But for us, it's a reminder,
creating a link to our ancestors,
a symbol of hope in cherished memories,
for, even if we were gone...
Part of us will be connected to the future.
