My hologram

My thread can weave

up on the hill
is where our old pets

RE: graves

Every inch of earth contains
Someone's mourning tears,
whose life has been diminished
by facing lonely years.

RE: graves

Laid low by sorrow
I stand before your grave.
Will tears come tomorrow?
The trees whisper, "Be brave."

I do not visit graves.
my love still lives for me
above the ground, in the sun

Didn't you know the stars
are really projectors,
emanating light to earth
And our reality is TV

we are...

And now I hear we're holograms.
And who turns off the show?
Fast forward, pause, and power down,
deciding when we go.

The seeds of earth are drenched by tears
which make them sprout someday.
But in the end I'm sorry for

graves

At each and every gravestone,
Tears were shed.
Soaked acres of
Movers and shakers.

It might hold a body

It opens wide

Stone Soup

Cut down in your own youth
Turned to cold stone soup
Garnished with flowers and scripture,

Only The Rain Weeps

And what of Potter's Field?
Where the invisible people lie
Whose passing caused no stir
Where no one is moved to cry

For he who sees the tears
cried for each soul, caution,
for the flood can carry him

the playground's only there
if we believe it's so.
and the silent dead, so far,

RE: Only The Rain Weeps

How many lonely Potter's Fields exist the world over?
How many lie buried in godforsaken graves of the poor?
How many thousands fill trenches in the killing fields?
How many for whom prayers of the dead will ne'er be said?

Once my parents courted there
among the silent blind stones
Once there they kissed and sighed
now peacefully side by side, home.

tears of time

Perhaps that made the sea.
Tears from endless loss.
From when the hunter died alone
unmarked by wreath or cross.

Crying for the dead
pushes mountain peaks aside.
Tears falling like a hammer.
Feeble granite splitting wide.

Smells of sweat and potpourri.
Rock hard face startles,

Looming marble,
deeply carved and clear.
A single rose obscures a name
I will not see or hear.
