My Captivation

let me tell you a story ...

the above quote perfectly describes
my thoughts of my family
gone above
and after many deaths of my beloved family
I have developed an odd captivation for cemeteries
loving the ultimate peace found amongst
the swaying trees and hidden birds singing
scurry litte creatures
and the withered flowers left to decay
the tombstones and graves
my family is buried in the oldest cemetery
in our city that is about 200 years old
it is full of decaying headstones
some are blank now
the engraving has faded to nothing
others with names and dates faint
many are broken and fallen over
but the ones that are readable I find fascinating
in loving memory I read
I can tell how much they were loved
bible verses added at times
and I adore the angel statues everywhere
some moss drapped
for miles among the huge old trees are paths
I wander and ponder
loving to go in the rain, the snow
and when leaves are stained glass beautiful
it all fills me with a writing passion
I stop at a pond to rest
watching the fish drift and float
one can just breathe in the sereniy and tranquility
call me odd but this is where I go to find
utter peace
