And onto the lush, green grass we go. We move forward Into the land of the dead. Each gravestone tells a story Some short, some long. Each with their own Unique experiences. To the left, Derrick Miser, born in the 1927, Laid to rest in 1945. A victim of war. Llara Frank, only a child, was death's victim Before reaching a year of life. In the hands of God she sits. We continue on deeper into the cemetary, Respectfully striding Through the lanes. Only the blowing of the wind Can be heard As it rustles the tree leaves, Adding to the reverent silence. You can hear the preacher Saying his prayers for peace, And the sound of cars Driving away from the site and the sadness. I await the setting of the casket. I remember the one now dead. I think about the gravestone And how it can't summarize his life. My life. The casket is lowered into the ground, My final resting point. With a heavy heart, I travel home.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
