I stood solemnly, quietly, the cold rock strewn
ground surrounding me on all sides.

This place, hallowed to those who remained,
whose breath still frosted the evening air.
A place of final repose for memories and aches
that still stir the tears of eyes that have seen
much of this,   now awaiting his turn to be
hallowed, eulogized and covered with the
earth that carried his feet hesitantly forward

His voice, a mere whisper.  Calling to the
pillar that fell and now silently awaits the
unification of two minds, occupying souls
that knew the other, even in the late hours.

And I stood solemnly, quietly, the cold rock
surrounding me....as I heard his words and
knew his love would never wane nor die.

Speaks this poem
on so many levels
that it should
hallow halls

for times that were
and are
and yet to be.

A remarkable write, Magnus.

A more memorable write, Barry.

Be without pride, and submit this
where it will stand proud.

Hallowed halls of thought and spirit do not wane or die. The substance of love is more than time or space. We sometimes miss the arms, but love is the sustaining sacred.

Solemn and very poignant thoughts, but very gripping.

I dare say no one can read this without feeling it.

Very well done Barry.
