Carousel

Stones left unturned for those that seek truth among the urns.
I care not to seek out answers requiring a life’s sacrifice of family and name.

Secrets revealed. Kingdoms rise, then disappear. Buried beneath  silicon dunes of unrefined glass. Reflected back a whisper of their past.
The abyss now lay claim to their lands.

Endless cyclical tides, wash ashore smashed relics of a time long forgotten.
Blending perfectly with tumbling mollusks and stone.

But, all too soon. Quicker than we think. Our bodies reduced to boney fragments. Charging towards some beach.

Stones left unturned, are left better unlearned. History unfolds lessons, that are left better; alone
