Help Us To Understand

Help us to understand, said the Watchers on the Watch. 

And came the reply: There is nothing to understand. We are the ancients. We have always been and will forever be.

Even after the death of this planet? 

Even after. For this universe teams with life. And we are all connected. 

Your lives are like mist, here for an instant and then gone. 

Yes, and we will forever be.
