Cemetery

Stones are carved Shaped into endless hills upon hills The narrow pathways divide and Wind like veins Emptied of blood There are no trees No life that springs from happy soils Except memories clung desperately to loved ones Else they are forgotten Who are we but our memories? Without them we are a nameless grave We will all end here.

Sad but true. Most of us will fade into obscurity when our families have also gone.
