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 on the witching hour
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
