Beneath sky
Below foam
Sea creatures nibble
Eroding their hides

Protecting their shrine
Sea swirls through them
Holes covered by coral
Passage way for slithery snails

A blur of rays
Ripples of light
Fading to none
Blinding statues’ eyes

Another is added
A newcomer, a stranger
They all say ‘Hello’
Along the never ending line

Statues forever
For centuries
Guarding secrets, lost in the tide
They stand, unified
