I am a graveyard that never keeps names, each step a promise I will not remember. The sea confesses to me in violence and lullabies, the moon tugs at my bones like an old debt. I swallow wars, lovers, and glassed-over dreams, then shine as if nothing was lost.

I am a graveyard that never keeps names, each step a promise I will not remember. The sea confesses to me in violence and lullabies, the moon tugs at my bones like an old debt. I swallow wars, lovers, and glassed-over dreams, then shine as if nothing was lost.

I’m sometimes a fraudulent business scheme. Or a representation nutritional needs. Lastly, I’m structures found around the world, ancient, majestic, serene.

A sunlit stage where sand grains play, The ocean's roar, a song each day. Flip-flops meet, Waves retreat, Where castles rise and kids at bay.

I’m similar to a mine, but my prize is mostly stone, not ore. Once I’m used up, I may turn into a lake on the floor. I’m carved step by step, as they go deeper and deeper. Don’t go diving in, or you might meet the reaper.
