LIVES REMEMBERD IN STONE

 

I stand amongst the cool gray stone

The last remembrances of ones that were lost

Something tangible that grievers can speak to

Put there forehead to

Weep to

I do not weep for I have no on here

But still I visit

Read the names

Try to imagine what these lives held

before they were laid to rest in the earth

Some young

Taken before their time

Before they had a chance to live

To love

To make a difference

To make mistakes

Some old

With many mourners or enemies left behind

Perhaps children

Friends

pets

But still a life lived

I find it calming here

Peaceful

Welcoming even

Amongst the dead

The memories

The lives remembered in stone.
