Cast in stone
statues in the morning sun
reflections of another time
when alive to run
Each one solitary
guarding the coast like a lamb
overlooking the horizon
on the small island
Expressions of another time
a culture’s story to be told
all that remains is a mystery
of the lives of old
Not forgotten
many visit the strange land
making up stories
some singing with a band
Some believe the natives
came from outer space
bringing great knowledge
hidden on the stony face
Others believe they are energy
awakening at dawn
haunting the visitors
floating on the lawn
A testament to time
these relics live on
resting peacefully in the sun
silently representing those long gone
