A Place of Stones

 

Tucked away in
the corner of a small town
or large city,
stands a place of stones

A resting place for some,
visiting place for others.

Not being a popular site to visit
the stones stand tall,
stark, erect.
The full sun of day
fails to soften
their surfaces appearing
to all who come,
just a marker
where underneath their
loved ones lie.

Though seeming this way,
non caring
just a slab of stone,
beware in the early twilight
they appear to come alive
towering over the ones in their care.

The moonlight softens them.
They become spirals of
shimmering starlight quietly,
tenderly keeping watch
over all who lie within

This place of stones
