Memories

the air is full of years that have passed and my tears still flow like waves upon a vast ocean many times, I have whispered why all my beloved slumber in the silent dust in their eternal repose and often, I go to just sit- remembering before those shiny black and those old mossy stones sitting upon the new emerald grass weeping thinking that these stones are the only things that show they lived except for the memories that I will always keep in my heart till my own last breath then, I too will be a name engraved ___________________ May 18, 2021 Poetry/Verse/memories Copyright Protected, ID 05-1356-515-18 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, All Yours (May 20) sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 05/20/2021 First Place

Such a poignant write, Constance. Yes, I often feel this way when I visit the old cemetery where most of my relatives are interred, including my sweet mother.
