The sun rises in all places,
even here, across these headstones,
casting beams of sunlight
onto pavement and grass.
Everything is asleep,
except her, a lone wanderer
who likes the taste of 7am
and the way the sky blushes
as the moon whispers goodbye
and the sun, hello.
Everything is silent,
apart from her heart
which thunders in memory
of him.
The clouds are gilded in gold,
fingertip lining, a reminder
of the life she felt with him.
Much like these buried lovers
and their beloveds
above and below.
Shadow lingers, seeking
a home in the girl
lost in Aurora’s graveyard,
amongst flowers and shades
of solemn remembrance.
I love this. It is a masterpiece. Did you see someone and write about it? I ask because this reminds me a little of my mom. She lost her only love 13 years ago, and she still goes to the grave every day. It is beautiful…not tragic.

I didn’t see anyone but as I walked past a graveyard I thought about how when you visit and leave one, you no longer carry your love story but several others too; as you read headstones and observe the act of leaving flowers. What a wonderful comment though, thank you for sharing your mother’s love and loss. I hope she finds peace in a sunlit graveyard. She is proof love doesn’t die like we do.
