It Fell From a Dune

It fell from a dune Into my path This day Near where freshwater bubbles forth And waves push foam Fraught with tempest Of a southern sea Upon an isolated shore That would turn fatal for Two pieces Perfect In shape and size Mother with child Mortar and pestle I can only pray You rest in peace All Smooth So smooth After generational use A vision of people past Grinding, grinding Grinding away At a meager and humbled life Only to be Buried away For another day That nether came Until this day It fell from the dune Into my path I walk it back Into the dunes And bury it away Again Out of respect And remorse For I know It was you Your people That died Beyond That lands head Just there
