Remnant

I am what is and was and what shall remain
When all is rust and lashed with rain
The dreams of man echo with silence
Hushed by the clock ticking with lament

Gears still wind and fingers revolve
The hourglass turns with heartless resolve
Monuments crumble as they're ravaged by time
A civilised plague to my tendrils and vines

All are gone but whispers remain
No-one left to mold the clay
Empty rooms of life bereft
For whom does the clock tick when mankind has left?
