Graveyard

They walk towards me
and away
from left to right,
right to left,
creating foreboding, in silence.

It happens every time
like images of rhyme,
visible silent words -
right to left, left to right
at night towards me and away -
creating that foreboding.

I know they'll be here,
in this shortcut,
the way I take to my cottage.
So strange what fear will do,
such foreboding.
Images master the mind.

Your poem, Andrew, captures the ghosts that trail us so precisely. Images of those lost remain. Be well. Brian

That feeling you convey many can relate to in realm of the graveyard. Well done, Andrew.
