The song of the wind

The wind whistles softly,
Over the cold sturdy rock.


The names carved in stone,
Witness of their existence.


Words assign them equal.
In graves they lie in peace.


The only companion, being 
A lone chirp of the sparrow.


Withered flowers remember, 
Aromas that honored the fallen ones.


Forgotten sighs lie,
On eternal beds of stone.


An old lament can be heard,
The lullaby the wind sings.

  6. Dismal! I can imagine graveyard and begotten people. Their unaccomplished tasks, incomplete dreams and desires. And whispers in the atmosphere. Great imagery. (y)

  10. This really spirited me away to that lonely, yet peaceful, graveyard.
    I felt soothed by the wind's soft lullaby...could stay here for hours, just listening to the birdsong.
    Oh how beautiful...:)
