An Old Graveyard
As l stroll through an old graveyard
On a overcast drizzly day
I drift back in time
To million miles away
Mesmerised by the headstones
I contemplate lives gone by
Who were they, who loved them
How did they die?
The profound silence within the graveyard engulfs me
The solitude yields inner peace
I feel a sense of spiritual calm
As if all fear has been released
I wander the graveyard oblivious of time
In a world of the unknown
A world of lives gone by
A life …now just words on a headstone
