Seven stone obelisks
Seven stone walls
cover the valley floor
in silver and sapphire
Monoliths
Sentinels
watching and
absorbing
Things live
and things grow
while They stand
unwavering
Every year
the valley floods
and They disappear
beneath the lake
And every year
They emerge
from their slumber;
Their deep thoughts
