Nothing is heard, but the gentle breeze Breeze that whispers over the deceased Trees bow their branches with deep respect For those that lie in cemetery beds. The green grass is tended graciously For mourning of friends and family To find healing that lessons their grief And helps those grieving to find some peace. Flowers adorn the beautiful place Chosen with perfect love and good taste By those who’ve lost a special someone Who in their heart’s will always live on. A cemetery is the place to be When hearts are broken in two, sadly The ambience has a calming effect When one feels that their life has been wrecked. Stone angels keep watch both night and day Singing to keep tears and fears at bay So the departed rest in sweet peace And their souls live on within God’s fleece. * * *

A cemetery is a place of sleep and rest. As no bustle of life is there, it is a place of peace where the deceased ones rest in eternal silence. A beautiful poem dear Beryl.

Methinks you have captured the feel and the eternity of a cemetery, Beryl. Resonates deep within me. Thank you. ~ Gershon

You've written an interesting description of a cemetery. I guess many feel this way. I mostly avoid them. Nice rhymes Beryl

This is almost a prayer, dear Beryl. Glad you're writing again. Best answer to idiots. Ignore them and write your beautiful poems. Hugs.
