a beautiful place


The Graveyard

Grassy mounds bearing wildflowers...
Staunch soldier trees
standing guard in silence.
Tombstone poetry
sings sweet songs
of bygone graces
and a mist of history
parades fine faces
of the departed.

Their hands reach out to me...
and I smile
as I whisper greetings
and smooth away
the threads of time
that bring us as one,
a comedy of mortal life
blended in strokes
of common love.

The graveyard's where my loved one lies,
"Just wait for me," my sad heart cries.
His grave is covered with blooms and cards,
signs of everlasting love and regards.


Without him now, how lonely my world.
A great dark cloud so firmly unfurled.
The graveyard is my place of peace.
I'll lie there too, on my release.

so many look at graveyards as dark places, gothic scenes and eerie atmosphere, but yes they can be beautiful and relaxing places to sit in and smile. i have written many a poem in graveyards, i even have some photography of a tree growing around a grave. a good piece.
