Sandwick Cemetery

A stone
An obelisk
Railings
A keyless lock

Who remembers
the names
the people
their story

The clouds
The sun
The rain
The storms

Pass by
Unwittingly
Insouciant
Uncaring

Perennial
Names fading
As do the memories
of those they recall

Boats taking people
Away from the island
Coming in briefly
Or staying for eternity
