monoliths, no
nor community pillars
simple folk
everyday concerns
faults, blemishes in the open
family first, always
strong in principle
yet not so hale
side by side
their sun setting on
one, long before the other
both missed dearly when
that final sun set
Day Four of NaPoWriMo 2016.
The photo above is provided by Sue Vincent in her Thursday Photo Prompt – Captured.
The more liberal minded might agree this also fits the Day Two prompt (family portrait) from napowrimo.net.

The stones, too, have their parts to play, long, strong, hard.
We flesh and blood mortals come and go
and can
only
rest in their shadow.

I immediately thought this was for the family portrait prompt. 🙂 Love this especially:

everyday concerns”
