Graveyards

The leaves are still

Air quiet

Sighs are granite here

Words frozen

Shadows move about

Hearts are empty

 

A cuckoo’s song fills the void

The pink sun greets a blue star

Sequined night sky looks festive

The sleeping angel

Is in the new home

Of peaceful rest

  3. Death is hard as granite and as quiet as still air, and all those frozen words only memories. The cig kobo sound can only be a reminder of what will never be again. Powerful imagery here, Sumana.

  5. some deaths are indeed much harder to accept and fathom than others, and we are indeed left with an empty heart.
