FIRST PLACE

 

"Grief must not be stifled; it must 
have tears, an outlet, a sigh, words."

                             Quote by _ Constance

Sunny Dawn

Tears of Dew

 
So, deathly quiet in the green cemetery, morn' dew clings like fallen sad tears; wind caresses as my grief freezes me, death, tears and grief are my tomorrows.

These are strong, sorrowful words. The cemetery is so final as your verse describes.
