PRAYING ANGEL #2 Moss covered statue in cemetery Instant digital download original Agezinder art photography

Example for my Untraditional Jueju Contest

the cemetery was hushed with stained-colored leaves drifting and praying moss drapped angels weeping in the falling rain I walk the winding dirt path past old graves with worn markers the names invisible now and have fallen into ruin I stop at many well loved with flowers and tokens left yes, the love is still alive proving death is but a door then, our grave, my place of tears my baby and sister dust and the bones of mom and dad decay .... to my knees sobbing

Love the shortness of your sad poem with great imagery and emotion; no capitalization and no punctuation. Enjoyed reading.

Very compelling write. I can feel the pain of the losses in your life. It is sad to visit the graves but also a time to remember their lives and give thanks for having known them. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it with us. Sara K

Beautiful, making grief and sorrow a thing of mysterious beauty. Touching and heart felt. I empathize and send to you thoughts of comfort and support. Xoxo
