Secrets whispering in the trees
Mysteries flying on the breeze
Rows of cold hard unmoving stone
Names and dates are all thats known
Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends
The list goes on and on the list never ends
So many unanswered questions, so much history
Knowing that a stone will someday be me
Silenced forever, nothing more to say
Beautifully tragic, it moves me in this way

Interesting observation. I guess a stone is what waits all of us. "What's significant? only the quality of the journey".
Nice piece you have written. Makes one think about the inevitable.

"Knowing that a stone will someday be me"
This is a great observation of the fatality of life and the wish to be remembered. Great approach to this subject.
