When I went there, I could sense the heavy atmosphere,
Under the stars shining bright, tears were falling without
fear.

Friends & Family, visited memories, longing for hugs
& kisses.
Souls lay blissfully in their graves with grave secrets
& unfulfilled wishes…
They won’t rise up to greet anyone; they are very far, though
near…
