GRAVE YARD

“You’ve come to see us!” they say, the dead speaking silently.
“Is the sun playing warm shadows across the faded flowers left on our graves – oh!
    ...and did anyone miss us today?”

“I missed you” I say “Bet you wish you were free like me!”     
    
So you are free!” they laugh

“No -  you are free” I say; on reflection…

“The shadows?” they ask again,

”Yes there are warm shadows, 


                       and the flowers, yes the flowers are faded 


                                                                                 – and

                                                                         ...I really did miss you!”
