A little peace

And they all just lay here
Waiting for visitors or just waiting for the end
Cars pull up and fall out
Clear away the weeds and replace them with the fresh coloured flowers
They spend moments laying them out perfectly
Whilst tears are held back
Although sometimes you see the grief roll down their cheeks
They mutter words quietly about how they miss you and how they love you
They may even tell you about their day
All crowded in
All squashed up just rows and rows of gone lives
Leaves they have fallen and lay lightly upon your resting place
Birds fly above
A main road wraps itself around here but inside its peaceful
Slanted coffins
Broken stone
Collapsed from the weight of the world
I could stand here for hours
Circle it and read all of your names
I'll take a moment for each and every one of you
God bless you
