I got my inspiration for this piece from this walk I took the other day. So I have this killer road by my house that I have to walk up coming back from the main road in town, and I decide that I'll just take a side road. So I'm taking this road and I see a graveyard and walk by, but then there is one that has a little opening and in back of it is a church that I've seen before, and something prompts me to go in and look at the gravestones, it was sunny and beautiful- unusual for Feb. and so peaceful. So I thought "I can't waste all this beauty, I have to share" and as you all know my stories tend to mold themselves around my inner thoughts, so here is my creation- enjoy!!!

-Kate

Standing in a Graveyard

Standing in a graveyard
You can not help but whisper
The respect the dead demand
Comes through your calm demeanor

So have you a loved one
Lost in a sea of graves
Or have you yet to answer
To the call of death and pains

Walking in the sunshine
The place seems filled with calm
And teetered on the edge
We’re waiting for the storm

In a life where lies can substitute
For truth’s demeaning calm
It’s no wonder we exaggerate
The way emotions are worn

When we deny the beggar
And strip the naked poor
We decay our higher purpose
For something less- not more

It is in such a place
That the dead have the most peace
Where no one has to worry
And no one dead can speak . . .

and in the daylight i miss the nightmare- but deathly fear it in the dark of night

Your words make a graveyard a little bit more pleasent. *weird though isnt it?* The emotion is very beautiful. i love it!! this is heading to my library. lol.

And i know how you feel when it comes to writers block. One way to cure it look at a picture and write about it. Its been helping me the past week or so. (if you havent noticed all the poems i have, that have pictures with them too)
