a sunday graveyard walk |
| Here lay the silent ones Rotting homes, cast in shallow graves of stone Chisel to rock in perfect form Creeping cautiously in three minutes of silence Shivers shudder across shoulders Silent tears, wail in loss loathing and fear How peaceful the cadavers sleep, not uttering a sound While strangers wander on Sunday walks Wrought iron gates, shaded black to gray with dust Standing naked among ancients, still fresh with breath A cold bench to contemplate the unknown Flowers to remember life, but its only time till they fall Church bells at twelve, the world continues its pace Time within these walls is a fruitless endeavor I have all the time in the world. |
