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
jbeware in the early twilight
they appear to come alive
ust a marker where underneath
their loved ones lie

Though seeming this way, non
caring just a slab of stone,

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
