Life is an exhalation, a brief moment, Yet in it we sense eternity. Take it slowly. Beautiful, simply beautiful. A rare poem of its own kind. Splendidly written. 10 for it.

Hi Kaldorei (Edgar Allen Poe would have loved your macabre poems) thanks for reading. I don't look at this site often but I appreciate your words. Graveyards are peaceful places to me too.
