Summerween Prompt: ASHES

I think it’s admirable that people restore gravestones and mausoleums.

Each stone, each slab of granite marble and brick have a story to tell and preserving those stories is a form of immortality. There’s comfort in knowing that our story doesn’t disappear long after we’ve passed on.

But one day the wood that houses our bones, the stones that say we were here will fall to dust too and I think that’s okay.
