Graveyard Dust

Graveyard Dust

A Poem by SheActsLikeSummer
"

A poem.

"
Walk along a cobble stone path
beneath the arms of a gasping willow
Listen to the secrets the wind avows
midst it's booming piteous bellow
Tread softly across the growing grass
slumbering bodies lay beneath the soil
See with care the stones engraved
wrapped in the wings of an angel
Trace the names of forgotten souls
who rest in a casket of dark
Hold yourself to thwart the cold
that disturbs an ember's spark

And breathe the graveyard dust

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
This reminds me of something I had written a long time ago. I love the gothic tone, gloomy, espically on this foggy sunday. Very well done.
