Everything evolves

Around me changes

But still stay here

And meet new faces

I’m small

And deep in the ground

Where sometimes newcomers dig

And welcome what they found

I last forever

After my short term

I used to move

And change form

But now I’m forever still

Holding what once was one

I’m a mere frame

A casing of history

Yet thousands look at me daily

With wonder and fear

But I know the stories

Of those who came before me

If only I could tell you

And set these stories free
