Brill Cemetery
By John R. Greenwood
Oasis of age buried deep within a town
Loyal cedars standing
Still
Patient sentinels have nothing but time
A caring Sun sneaks through
Pumping a spritz of love
Warming a sacred soil moist of teared thoughts over years missed
Silence - like a friend who surrounds you with calm
Soft shell of moss comforting sleeping souls nestled below
This solitude filled space
Cornered with scattered ornamentation
Believing in it's rusted beauty
Beautiful John

ReplyDeleteBrill Cemetary - what a video and poem. It is good to honour these places.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteA very moving video and accompanying poem.
Sad to see areas which are unkempt and uncared for. Memories held in the scattered memorials.

The poem and photos are beautiful and touching. Love this.
ReplyDeleteI love this piece and the photos to go with. I have written some pieces about cemeteries, myself, as I find them fascinating places. Commenting from Poety Pantry.
ReplyDeleteSo moving and beautiful, John. The film, your words, the photos. Makes one think.......I especially love "silence like a friend who surrounds you with calm"......
