Anniversary
Listen to poem:
The cemetery was dark, yet full of peace.
I felt the bodies asleep beneath my feet.
I hummed softly a lullabye as I walked by.
My father's favourite, called Turalurali.
I knew he stood beside me as he whispered
"Have no fear", while I shed a tear.
I told him how I missed him, though twenty years
had passed. A love to last.
And the cemetary was beautiful as we parted once again.
Anniversary meeting between two old friends.
