The Calm Before The Storm
lulled by silence
a hint of sunshine
traces of spring
the cemetery is silent
the flowers still
the solitary mourners perched by gravestones
alone in their grief
the village stands empty now
its buldings abandoned
each person swallowed into silence
the seasons pass
spring, summer, autumn, winter
new mourners visit each day
to place flowers on the graves

Excellent imagery, Lozzamus.
the village stands empty now
its buldings abandoned
each person swallowed into silence
Just wow.

Thanks very much, Ahavati. I heard the phrase as musical sounds and trusted my instinct.

Dear L,
Ominous and enthralling at the same time. Sometimes I feel like the universe gets fed up and just purges. Your last stanza is so poignant. I felt a shiver of abandonment thinking of all the changes. Wonderful write full of such imagery. H🌷
