Graveside service
I saw two people kneeling at graveside, tending the soil
flowering at their sides,
thet were facing each other
and talking to themselves in whispers.
Their bodies curled in the mist like yin and yang,
steam was rising from the rain-damp meadow
where cold stone monuments hold tribute to the dead,
a solemn moment.
A frame in time, stilled by the swiftness of the passing train,
and my curious glance
into oblivion.

Re: Graveside service
I love poetry and that is a really great poem!
I never really write poems so much as read them.
