Premium Member Calmness Midst Cemetery Call
Calmness bids me as grief strives to cease Enabling sincere thanksgiving-prevalence Midst gloom, hiding serenely still while Exemplifying grace under pressure... yet Tears cannot anymore control their fall Exposing prayer of my heart for closure Recognizing heaven's victory over death since Yon the grave is eternal bliss with the Source of life. ...

A Field Called Cemetery
A field where the departed rest, Some have toiled on this earth and given their best. We bring flowers as we mourn for those we've lost, Grieving deeply, our hearts feel its cost. A field where silence drowns the noise of the day, The soul has passed through the last...

“The cold stones of cemetery inscribe in emptiness the petrified story long forgotten” – By Poet The grey sky was gloomy as that of my morose mind, as I pushed open the rusted gate, entered the sprawling cemetery. I stood still in front of the grey stones in rows, some large, some small, in columns, some erect, some...

Premium Member Tombstones in the Cemetery
Human life is striving for joy while saturated with busy bits of an emotional seesaw, its movements leave traces in so many places, our goal seems pre-disabled. So, it is that despite emotional throes we seek fulfillment over and over. As God's own designed, divine-honed souls, we are light sourced as formed in His realm. Reincarnation...

Premium Member Cemetery Thoughts, Some Grave
The family plot’s on cold pavement and hidden in grass, but warm with familial heartbeats. Otherwise, the dead become spectrals, fearsome at midnight. —by poet Cemetery Thoughts, Some Grave Not dark and scary, slightly sunlit. walked the pavement, not like the unknown’s sentry, but still deliberately, in this quiet almost public space, a location hidden from me, though I stood right where I am now - over...

"Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow. " ~ Shakespeare As fragments of the stars abandoned the sage of night, my kohl heart bleeds beside your trembling tombstone, while soul aches to seize the fading scents within the iris of auroras, leaving dreams and I, lost like the speed of shooting sparks, twirling above ghosts in the cemetery of wild corpse roses, whistling moonless requiems...

Premium Member Reflections In A Cemetery
Somehow, the deluge of cloudburst unwraps my flesh pallid, as if to spill holy water--maybe thickened dew—just to give a name to lapses of my unheard cries, while an insolent breeze fails to listen as I howl in utter despair of life's requiem: The thistle of wet soil chains my feet anchored unto the swell of memories' bend; remaining distant in an...

Promise of the cemetery
I’m walking beside a garden of stone stilled angels Their eyes are unmoving But their soul is cowering I’m cut between the heat of the earth, The burning sun and the salty sky I can’t choose the dirt in where I will lie But I can choose the way that I will die There's a towering night overhead With its sword filled...

Premium Member Deep in Greenwood Cemetery
"Across our childhood’s street we trod on carpet lawn and holy sod. We walked along where some had prayed. Where once we played, he now is laid." From my poem "Where Once We Played" There’s an old, large graveyard in my home town. We would not go there if chill winds would wail. In summer...

Nothing is heard, but the gentle breeze Breeze that whispers over the deceased Trees bow their branches with deep respect For those that lie in cemetery beds. The green grass is tended graciously For mourning of friends and family To find healing that lessons their grief And helps those grieving to find some peace. Flowers adorn the beautiful place Chosen with perfect...

Premium Member Beyond the Cemetery Gate
Withering weeping willows shade wrought-iron gates, creaking in the midst of a cool mid-autumn gale. Starless, charcoal skies loom above, as birdsong of nightingales drifts through the evening. Coming upon a worn, dirt-laden path, frost-burnt grass lines the edges, beckoning me to mourning’s sorrow. Marble statues of angels, frozen in prayer, greet me. falling to my knees, I brush the crisp leaves from your...
