framed in peace
pond and sculpture composed
wait in silence
empty chair beckons
story rests in closed book

unexpected tears sting my eyes
as I walk through the churchyard
my spirit inhales the bittersweet taste of home
beneath this sanctuary of towering trees
standing watch over silent gravestones
parents hurry past me
toward the grade school open house
across the street
oblivious to the invitation to stop
and rest a while before the sun goes down
yesterday evening, on my way home
