     Poets' Hill (Cemetery)

Under a melancholy moon
as the evening mist lies weeping,
mid ruined stones and impatient sorrow
only Time dances with shadows;
and no one is left…even to wonder
'why they were’ or what might  
   have ‘mattered’,
between the “nothing to nothing”
from whence they came…to return…
all the poor and disenfranchised
(when their 'poetry' died)
so alone and forgotten!

** I hope that anyone who reads this humble 'write'
   will also choose to read the REALLY fine and
   important work by 'WindWalker':

Your work reminds me of the role artists often play as a true voice of society.

In this writing, especially rich imagery:

"as the evening mist lies weeping,
mid ruined stones and impatient sorrow
only Time dances with shadows; "

Secondhanddreampoet,

The idea is there.  However, the writing is a little complex with all the ellipses and double and single quotation marks.  In addition, why capitalize "time".  I'd try to keep it simple.
