Whispering Graves
The graves of every lowly dale
The graves of every crowning peak
The graves of ancient burial
The graves of generations past
They all speak the same
They all whisper: Live now
They all whisper: Love now
They all whisper: Don’t wait
They all whisper: Hurry
They all whisper and whisper again
Through winds of evermore
We only need listen
We only need follow
Until we too are but whispering graves
sad lovely photos….whispers to the past screams to the future…you’re poem is uniquely you…love it!!!
The poem is okay. Not my favorite. But I felt like I had to honor the spirits in the photos with words. To give them purpose to be there, beyond just to look upon. I think I did that. Thanks for being the ever present David — power blogger always making an appearance. 🙂 Sam
A deep, cautionary poem with a sense of urgency as well.
Yes, you picked up on my uncomfortable urgency I have to get out there and LIVE LIFE to the fullest. It was evident in the poem. Couldn’t get that feeling out of the words….sometimes my thoughts stick like glue to my creations. 🙂 Sam
Great poem, you are right, life is for living and loving. Some people live and others simply exist. I love the music too.
🙂 Thank you for commenting. I really liked the music, too. Searched for unknown artists, and found some gems. 🙂 Sam
