A Marker Left
Sign of what once may be left
Breath taken deeply denial of death
Presence of grace to have a place to hide
As family leaves fall temperatures will rise
Accepting the passing of a goodbye
For moments of inscription
Left for grieving eyes
Stone slate curved shape
Squared surface engraved face
Measuring space words at a limit
Who? When? Memories of them
Beginning and an ending
Of a life once lived
Name and date
Cemetery gates
Marker forever statue in ground
In remembrance clouded
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Confined coffin entombed lost love
A marker
A place
For a person
That once was
Family
A Face
Remembering the hugs
A marker to celebrate
A person that is
Still capable of being
A person that gives
Living life after
A marker to represent
A person angelic family left
