Arlington

The broad banks shifting 
the stone slabs across 
the deserted plains of 
Arlington white tombstone 
lined nestled beneath 
decorated wreaths calling 
upon sudden hint of braising 
sunshine gleaming over falling 
leaves catering to yesterday 
reaching for tomorrow and 
yet silence abode the marble 
timings while old glory 
flickered between the calm 
breeze hints of sadness falls 
by the way side while tears 
stain the workers cheeks 
so we’ll crafted mastered 
beyond masonry moments
