Gravestones and epitaphs
Gravestones and epitaphs
Forgotten voices, no longer heard laughs
See them walk up the hill
See them lie in the grass
On the rock faces their firsts and their lasts
Gravestones and epitaphs
Gravestones and epitaphs
A silent stone angel delivers the mass
Green are the tree buds
And greener the grass
Let go the memories you had caught and held fast
Gravestones and epitaphs
Gravestones and epitaphs
Watch as the future slips out of your grasp
Do not miss the present
Do not lose the past
Someday you will find your own stone in the grass
holy poetry! this is so powerful--especially that last stanza (and line). your rhythm and rhyming are sublime....in a beautifully haunting way. a poem in one hundred words is not an easy task. well played.
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. This is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Nailed that last line!
