In a Minutes Observation
A MINUTES OBSERVATION
I took a walk today and happened on a spot
Covered by spreading trees shading every plot
A graveyard small and neglected easy to miss
A place to sit awhile in peace and reminisce
The graves some neglected a few well kept
Monuments placed by those who had once wept
Over many travelled souls now long laid to sleep
Beneath the lengthening shadows ever deep
I lingered my own spirit becoming quiet and still
As those beneath me who had had their fill
Of their lives and all that short sojourn meant
An eternity to accept where they had been sent
I too wondered just where I would eventually go
Would my ashes be spread or would I be laid below
I sat still contemplating life death and resurrection
And of my own possible path to a magnificent heaven
