Graveyards are gardens
Where the dead are planted
To bloom in better worlds
Gardens are temples
Where the faithful flowers
Sing hymns to the sun
Temples are oceans
Where the lighthouse of deities
Guides the lost through life’s storms
Oceans are highways
Where the counsel of stars
Leads the homeless back home
Highways are stories
Where travelers find endings
Unmarked on any map
And stories are graveyards
Where epics are concluded
As new ones begin

A meaningful poem and the format was enjoyable. How true the ending,

This form is excellent and I love the images too.
