[hometext] => Lost my Mother in 1983 to cancer. I was 18 and very bitter for a long time. I wrote this piece in the early 90's. I have always found a cemetery to be such a wonderful place of peace.
[bodytext] => Do you ever go to the cemetery for tranquility and peace of mind? It's strange there the feelings I fine. I think of all the people lying there decayed, dead. Wondering who they were and the last words they may have said. The cedars that grow here so majestic and tall, I think of all they've seen. I stand next to one. Looking at all the tombstones. This place really moves me. In the breeze..... grass blowing in the wind, this place becomes my friend. I feel these people. I take a step back in time and see.... the loved ones standing next to the grave crying. I come here to visit my loved one, My Mother, My friend. I too stand by her grave and cry-- not for her death- because now she's free. I cry for all the suffering she endured. It should have been me.

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. ©
