Standing Stones of the Ancient

Standing stones from a forgotten past
These monoliths, who built them to last

What do they mean, for whom did they serve
Through eons of time in weather worn preserve

These standing structures in sporadic spread
Is it an ancient message, that's still to be read

Are they there for a reason, a beacon, a signal
Or are they there for out there, an alien recall

Modern man, in their attempt to understand
Why structures like this, grace our lands

Maybe we will, maybe we may never
Maybe our ancestors of old, were just far too clever

I think that those ancestors were highly intelligent but lacked the machines of today. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
