Much emotion about mortality, and the souls desire to be heard even in our death. I am always in awe how the world goes on though missing such an important addition. Great poem and clear expression on the experience and thoughts of the author.

I love the imagery - there is nothing so forlorn as a graveyard in winter. -chuck
