The Cemetery at Night

“There’s something special about visiting a graveyard. Both life and death meet together in time.” - Eric Overby


The town cemetery is quiet and dark at night
Most do not try to visit it unless it is daylight
It’s rumored to be haunted with many ghosts there
The moonlight illuminates the stones in a peaceful flair
As tree leaves rustle in the warm breezy night air
An old man then appears on the cemetery bench 
Smoking a cigar, as he is speaking in fluent French
Big band music is now heard lightly in the wind tonight
As a bride and groom appear dancing under the moonlight
A group of civil war soldiers appear marching like war began
A black cat then appears on the bench purring near the man
He cries in joy as he sees his beloved departed cat Stan

It’s dawn as the sun is starting to rise over the cemetery grounds
It appears empty, not a soul is in sight or any strange sounds
