Great ending (as I sense both neglect /...and resurrection.) I once tried to release an old, small cemetery from its overgrown weeds, invading tree limbs, etc. In searching for genealogical information I have also come across a tree wrapped around a grave stone (It was so big) and actually more plants and trees than graves. There is so much art (Celtic cross) and so many stories hidden in those old cemeteries. You are contributing to our greater appreciation of the past with this poem. We should take time to look more carefully and see what’s really there.

'Do graveyards need a license for their poet-magnets? ' Enjoyed this beautiful ending.

A very good question. The structure of the poem shows the widom and authority of the poet and thoughts so mature. The beginning of your poem is the ending of my poem GRAVEYARD. Thanks for sharing the thoughts sathya narayana

Wonderfully done, my friend. At some point, and as time moves on, no one will mourn our passing. As always, an oustanding effort, and as always a humble 10 from me.
