[hometext] => They stand as silent reminders Small monuments in the grass Listen respectfully my friends To " Quiet Echoes " as you pass ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [bodytext] => Quiet Echoes How silent the graveyard Serene the grassy field Tho monuments of the past A wealth of information they yield As I walk by I try to imagine their dreams Their hopes, their fears It’s not as hard as it seems I imagine them living Not yet concerned with death Full of life’s expectations Same as all who draw breath A young man who loved Ellie Someday hoped to make her his bride Sent off to war On a distant shore died Grandma Anita Givins Of whose wisdom they still speak Written on her tombstone “ Blessed are the meek “ As I muse I remember My life too has an end I resolve to be more responsible With the life I spend For I too will one day be A monument in the grass And perhaps another will ponder Who I was as they pass But I will leave a message Quiet echoes of my stay Sharing the lesson I learned along the way “ If you’re reading this poem “ “ Etched upon my stone” “ Take comfort friend “ “ You’re not alone “ “ Make the most of your time “ “ Live life to the fullest each day ” “ For the time of your passing ” “ Is not so far away ” Russ [comments] => 5 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Lone_er [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

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. ©
