WALKING THE STONES
Spring sweet blooms
Blossoms
buds and
twittering
Birdsong
Sun warmed face.
Breaking my stride
To a slow march
as
Row and row of
White Stones
Row after row of
White Stones
Appeared.
Stark upon
Dark green
Late
Afternoon lawn.
Alone
I walked the Stones
Reading inscriptions
Name, Rank,
Branch of Service,
Campaign.
Date of
Birth
and
Death.
With reverance
softly touched
some
Stones with
Hand and
thoughts.
In the center of the
Cemetary stands a
Statue.
Stark white Stones
Cast
Late afternoon
Shadows
As
I
Unseen
Formaly marched around
the statue.
At each compass point
North, South, East and West
Stopped and faced the Stones.
Came to Attention
And saluted
The Silence
In Honor and
Respect
Then went
Walking the
Stones.
As ever be well. With love, Stephen Craig Rowe
