Cemetery in Autumn

Golden leaves float down
Caught by the October breeze
Autumn chill
Dead souls on the wind

Lonely footsteps through a quiet garden
In the middle of the night
Monuments on either side
Long surpassed by glory

And in the lonely soldiers line
White faces in military form
Flowers lain at the door
Flags for their memorial

Well-worn paths with sodden followers
Carried to their deep farewell
Dead tears to christen fresh soil
On the sacred christian ground

Broken wings by shattered cathedrals
Colored glass arranged on the floor
Pews forgotten in the frenzy
Bodies left to rot alone

The cemetery long forgotten
Autumn leaves blanket duller gray
The hollow voice of empty thrushes
Lingering in my deep solace
