Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

      

Hidden and Fallen In Disrepair

Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone
No family members left to maintain is known
Thus hidden and fallen into disrepair
Deeply weatherworn and embraced there
This marker sets into the ground alone

Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone
Threads of piercing light filtering through windblown 
Limbs surrounded by trees, ferns, blackberries, and wildflowers
Vegetation constantly threatening to swallow so it cowers
To nature’s breath, and tranquil outdoors, a hidden embellished millstone

Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone
Dreams of once beloved family heir now all alone
Notched poem about their lives fades with memories written 
Reveal   the epitaph of who's buried and hidden
Now without pain in the heavens mansion near God's throne

Jean Murray August 8, 2016 at 5:30 AM It's true that these gravestones are to be found often in dilapated graveyards where nature has taken over again; "surrounded by trees, ferns, blackberries, and wildflowers". Beautiful vision Eve. Eve Roper August 12, 2016 at 4:31 PM Thank you, Jean, those blackberries or delicious, but dangerous.

Reason A. Poteet August 7, 2016 at 10:40 PM Brilliant in message and presentation, may I wish you the best in the contest; but more important in a large family to mourn your passing when the time comes (hopefully many years down the road).
