Day with Dee

1827-1888 Such an ornate and beautiful stone withstanding the ravages of time...Randleman NC

An Old Cemetery 

The mists swirl, the moon shines bright.
No one dares stray here.
They would never desire to,
Unless the earth covers what they hold dear.

Bodies sleep subconsciously
In the presence of their God,
Singing silent songs that decompose,
Under the wild earth their restless souls trod.

The headstones stand pale and somber,
Reflecting the white aurora's glow.
Memories play like broken records,
Trapped inside, echoing lethargic tones.

The world's slow spin cradles them to sleep.
Heavy eyelids come to rise no more.
A thousand sunsets dwindle and pass
Lives that mortality ripped and tore.

My friend Dee and I went cemetary exploring locally.  She knew where all the interesting burial grounds were.  We had a great time and I hope her and I can do this again really soon.

LISTEN

Sit quietly on

ancient wooden pews
listen to the sounds
of color, shaped by songs in praise of light

Light dancing off glass

moving to sparkling rhythms
sending messages of fire, sand
and timeless beauty

Hymns of praise sung by light through glass.....Suzanne Cooper

An unmarked grave...perhaps the reasons will remain unknown but they sure loved this deceased person.

Sweet Little wood fairy at a childs tombstone.

Asheboro NC city cemetery.  This statue stands on the grave of a 19 year old girl.

This is the face of time...Time for all to heal

Nice looking woman who seems to be taken by surprise.

I love wrought iron gates...this one was simple, elegant and beautiful too.
