Devil's Den

Row after row,
marblized in memory,
ghostly chills walked over me
as I stepped beyond today
into a past rocked by helplessness,
knowing death was around the corner.

chilling revelation...and sobering to think of the lives lost and buried...in many cases prematurely due to no fault of their own other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time... I will speak of your still life...and say what other motivation do you need to embrace each day...knowing others may have not had the opportunity and we..you, me, all of us...have no guarranty we will have another...

Nice poem....and as usual... I enjoyed a great deal reading and pondering your words...

To all my friends above..and any others  reading...
visiting Gettysburg yesterday
We took  many  pictures..but the two that
stayed in my mind were of the cemetery...
the above is of the over 900 unknown dead
and this picture below is of the Devil's Den...
huge boulders and me


thank you for reading...

~Wynter
