Welcome to the Graveyard
On darkened nights, when
silence wails, I feel
your heartbeat 'cross the
veil. Long shadows whisper, moon's
silver blade, you come
to us across the grave..
~ For all those we miss ~
~ we acknowledge our losses, face our fears.. ~

What a wonderful idea Lenorita ~ I will try and get here with something creative in memory ....
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you,
artmusedog and carol
Oh I have not been to a Halloween Tea Party in a long time. Thanks for the invitation.
ReplyDeleteI really like that poem. Did you write it? It's such an invitation to mingle with lost loved ones. Nice post here!
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Lenorita! And I so wish I could join you for the witches tea, but I will be gone all weekend! I will come visit when I return to see all the gaiety you are conjuring up!
ReplyDeleteHere is a poem I wrote for Halloween, 2012 in memory of my late husband Milt who died October 2, 2010.
I am now,
but a reflection in your eyes…
I see you in every nook and cranny of Mexico,
it is as if you have become this land,
this place of your heart,
giving birth to the memory of you,
a love that is in the tiny hand of the beggar woman
outside the white church,
in the dancing la calacas,
in the mosaic tiles that stretch for miles
through parched land and gnarled trees
singing songs of sorrow
even while the dancers fill the streets
with light and color and joy…
You are in this glass of mezcal,
in the tortilla from the roadside fire,
kindled like your passion for simplicity
that was oh so complex…
Like the dreams of you that wake me each
night with a hunger and thirst that can not be met…
In the hot waters of La Gruta,
where mariposas and tiny winged jewels
stitch these memories of you
forever into my heart…
Thank you for sharing this piece of your heart!
DeleteDid i say i am on my knees, overcome; blessed by your motivation to share. I had to come back and read this again - it is simply beautiful.
DeleteThank you so much Lenora... and for providing this space for me to find this poem and recite it once again... graveyards are important to visit and to remember... xo
Deletewhat a vivid memory you painted, Lea, with your verse.
DeleteLenora, your verse speaks directly to my heart- warming the memories of those I love who are no longer visible to me. thank you
Great post and fine idea! Bastet
