The world ended
The sky did not
She stands, at an invisible altar
And worships a God of tiny,
sand covered miracles.
Time forgot
What it came here to do, and left her
Here, alone, just the bones
Of a time-shattered boat
For company
That – and you.

That is truly a beautiful piece of work! I love it. I love simplicity, and you definitely make it work. I love the last line.
"That - and you."
