The old graveyard dates back to the 1700's.
Most of my family who are deceased, reside in this old, but beautiful, resting place.

~*~

I wander thru it in the twilight of my dreams.
My long red hair and gown, flowing in a gentle breeze.
So serene.
I see an opening in the ground, aglow with torchlight.
I follow marble stairs down deep under the graveyard.
This underground-like catacomb, glows in what should be the soil,
filled with rotting coffins and corpses.

~*~

I feel confused but elated, at the beauty that surrounds me.
The walls are marble.
Torches everywhere, to light this giant resting place.
Grand marble slabs are affixed to the floor.
On each one lies a person, dead, but with the look of peaceful slumber.

~*~

I go to my Grandmother.
I never met her, as she died giving birth to my Mother.
She is as young and beautiful as the day she died.
Only thirty years old when she departed this earthbound life.
My focus is mainly upon her.
I see other relatives, but stay close to her.
Time to leave.

~*~

I gaze upon her one last time and make my way to the marble staircase.
As I emerge from below, the old graveyard is just as I left it.
Serene, with a soft breeze in the air.
I hear the rustling of leaves, and feel the cool air upon my face.
All the graves are as they were.
Cool soil covers my loved ones.

~*~

Still confused but elated.
I feel I know what lies beneath the graveyard.
Twilight Dreams or Reality?
