We should never neglect the headstones of our loved ones. At one time I pulled the weeds atop my grandfather's gravestone. Truly touching, poetess! ~

Death below life. A sobering line. One day death will be no more, along with all the pain and suffering that goes along with it -Revelation 21:4

Dear Joanna, I think your ability to convey so much depth in so few words is remarkable. This piece feels like a meditation on memory, loss, and the fragile connections between the living and the dead. Cemeteries are not just places of mourning but also spaces where life continues to grow—literally and metaphorically. Excellent in all Ways! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daneil
