At The Graveyard...



When I went there, I could sense the heavy atmosphere,

Under the stars shining bright, tears were falling without fear. 
Self-portrait, Vivian Maier ;  Used with permission from Magpie Tales
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…

    Yes, grave years often have a heavy atmosphere. We should just rememeber that it is not where 'they' are.

      Yes, that's a point. Their mortal remains are there & technically we feel the departed are there in the graveyards...
      Thanks for stopping by & sharing :)
