Pebble hearsay on the beach
Memories in sand
Historic milestones everyone
Far flung across the land
In secret sit these works of art
Explained when held aloft
How drifting days will reappraise
A remnant stony croft
Each one a continuance
A journey understated
Taking turns to be revealed
By a go between post-dated
