Stone

Silent

Unmoving

Visitors stare

Passing unaware

Of the long, slow heartbeat

The ghost of time remembers

Crystalline veins communicate

The coruscation of inner earth

The flickering flames of celebration

Honouring the origins of the stars

Reflecting ordered constellations

The ordering of the seasons

Past, present and future meld

In a time beyond time

Within hearts of stone

Wordless voices

World watchers

Whisper

Joy
