Barefoot in the graveyard pulling weeds and whitewash stone placing crystal pebbles and planting seeds of hope in the dirt-- moss hanging from the giant oak cool breezes and iris wild, braiding flowers and arms spread shouting to a dark bayou tribute to forgotten dead-- remembering ourselves... forgetting our regret. |

This so down to earth (no pun intended) and in touch with the reality of our precious years. We do indeed forget so final is this death those who brought us to our knees those who whisper in the breeze. Beyond the graveyard beyond the soul those who left us in this role. We do indeed forget to whom we owe a debt. Very well done!! Loved it! |

very well done, and a great tribute indeed to the nameless who made the differences. i like the last line very much. "forgetting our regret". indeed. We all got our demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

I have to ditto the others when I say this is "hauntingly beautiful" and you really should submit this for the book. You got my vote if you do. |
