Beauty of a Cemetery

Row after row of quietness
And neat white gravestones.

You’ll find the much-missed tranquility
in our over-crowded city
Where family members never been closer;
Sharing the unaccounted passing moments.

The cemetery never speaks ill of the dead:
*a loving mother*
*a loyal husband*
*a hero*.
The cemetery won’t forget your birthday.
The cemetery is inevitable.

In a cemetery;
blessings drop from skies;
Prayers chanted all day long.
In a cemetery,
you’re never alone.
Between the sky scrapers and clouds of car exhausts,
Your world turns green
of trees, flowers,
And moss growing between the letters of your name.
