Old Souls

Old souls once loved and grieved long forgotten all they achieved. Laid to rest in an old churchyard With a solitary tree standing guard. Eternally sleeping peaceful and shaded names they once had, long since faded Memories entombed behind a dry stone wall, with the soothing chirrup of a sparrows call. Overgrown grass, dead flowers rot as these old souls are long forgot. Now distant echoes of another time Slowly disappearing as weeds entwine
