A grave set at,
the foot of a hill,
amidst mountainous green.
Idyllic and peaceful,
in a heavenly still,
granting a rest that’s serene.
Spring flowers in bloom
that grace the lives gone,
each with a story to tell.
Deep loving thoughts
that will always live on,
reminding us all will be well.
Beauty in death,
a sweet offering,
a gifting made straight to the heart.
Tasting and seeing
within suffering,
and remaking the things torn apart.
Words without words
that speak to the grief,
healing in ways unbeknown.
Presence that grants
a depth of relief,
sprouting from seeds that were sown.
Growing anew
from pain into hope,
seeing the horizons in sight.
Touching the hem
of all things divine,
as the shadows give way to the light.
