The Rusty Gate

The wind blows through the leaves
they fall off the big trees, onto the graves.
The old rusty gate cannot seem to wait to be opened by you.
and their below your feet, neath the moss and long dead peat,
lies the truth.

Questions unanswered, wonders and whys
why some have lived and others have died
Secrets of the Graves

As the bushes in ft. of you
part away to let you through, to the tombs
The grave has said , to hear it you dread,cause its the truth.

Forget me not when you pass by
cause where you stand now, once did i
and where i lay down now, you soon shall be
prepare for death and follow me.

Well written and I recieved the total meaning of this little gem piece you have here sir. Thanks for the post. It is a old wise truth, for everyone is born, we live to the fate you described. I could actually see the gravesite. Good job.

i guess one of the reasons that that gravesite is so clear is that it is my daughters. personal experience is a harsh teacher. thanks mark

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
