Wind Chime Soul

The child within us weeps at marble headstones 
pallid wilting flowers dark plume wreaths scatter 
harpsichord of heartbeats waltz on grey day plot  
wind chime soul petals float past afterlife clouds.

Belated congrats on your winning work in Brian's contest. Yes, going to the cemetery can be cathartic. Visiting my parents' graves hasn't been as hard in the few years, it has been 28 years since my father's death and 26 years since my mother's death. I won't live long enough for that number of years to pass when visiting my husband's grave. Sara K

Line, in her comments from July 2020 below, echo mine today: "Deep and touching" I tend to overuse the word poignant when describing work but your four lines, for me, are that too. Congratulations on the win in Brian's contest. Cheers - Gary
