Day 21 - Forgotten Graves

Cracked consciousness keeps on hold

All the stories, which were untold

You strode by and gazed into that drain

On another day I might have found you insane

And yet the look within your brown eyes

Hinted at secrets that were much more wise

I was not to know then what would lie in store

I just forgot for a moment all that had happened before

The tears that had stained this quiet place

Making permanent residence on my face

Unmarked graves strewn around our feet

Should have been a horrid place to meet

But your belief in humanity and hope

Helped me to slowly learn how to cope

With all the names that had been forgotten here

Neglected and faded away year after year

For when I found you here in this forgotten wood

And we cared for this holy site, best as we could

We mended the garden until blooms covered the ground

We filled this place with joy, so prayer was the only sound

I found my love was waiting only to find your sweetness

And now each day together, this place we still bless
