A Beautiful Sad Cemetery
The cemetery was filled with muteness
where no voices were heard from the dead.
It’s beautiful, sad, deep, and tragic.
Thoughts flew with the wind as spirits
invisibly walked around the memorial garden;
remembering how animated life it was to be with mortals.
As leaves slowly fell on the tomb’s angel sculpture,
The sun sprinkled its light-giving hope for those who live
with memories from dead bodies underneath.
As morning birds opened their eyes
gallivanting their wings in each corner of the graveyard,
Longingness was seen and heard making hysteria
raged and reached far distant places like home.
Sunset came and everything went back to misery
Reminiscing lamenting songs of yesterday’s death
It turned to darkness where eyes can’t see human physique
But there are those unseen souls watching moonlight,
wiping tears and hoping that there is life after death.
