Visiting the cemetery in Autumn.

[lawrence101]

I dropped by the cemetery in weather unfair
It was an autumn day , windy cold
The trees nearby were almost bare
One could sense a new season about to unfold
Countless fallen leaves were all around
Dead leaves that had seen their season
The wind and creaking oaks were the only sounds
In this burial place beyond reason
Some drop by in remembrance of a kin
I guess i dropped by to reflect
Or perhaps its an air to think in
Certainly not have i come here to pay last respects.

Although i wrote that poem a long time ago, it hurts now to read it again since my mother passed away.

The muse of poetry hasn't been around lately; she usually visits in my half-sleep. I'll take a nap now.
