Meditation in a Graveyard II

“God, speak to me…” I whispered.

From the calm a cool and pervasive wind

ran its fingers through the leaves.

And dead ones fell.  I don’t want to go

home, as I pull for my stubble.

“Appreciation full grown is Love!

Don’t forget that, my son.

And be tenderhearted as I am,

with words as a bee outside the window

when you can only see it fly.  Not bitter

like its sting, or wrathful like its

unknown enemy.  Face trouble

as the tree does when blown by my voice.

Heed the word that was spoken

to you amongst the dead.”
