In this peaceful place

the crisp air
upon my skin
seems to cleanse
me within
as the cold drizzle
washes my face
in this peaceful place

the soggy ground
beneath my feet
feels soft
and comforting
the soles of shoes
caked in mud
somehow doesn't bother me much

the silence here is
almost deafening
as if the dead
are listening
a silent breeze
touches my face
in this peaceful place

the grass dances
with elegance
as my eyes fill up
with remnants of memories of those
I love
somehow doesn't bother me much

maybe I just needed
some time
to sit down
and have a cry
visit with my memories
and take some time to think

with a singing bird
at my back
I sat alone
looking at a granite slab
while my flowing tears
washed my face
in this peaceful place
