** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Review from Angel Army.

Overall Impression:A beautiful poem set in a cemetery among the huge headstones of an earlier time, the Poet's story is of a visitor there who takes note of the markers not of elegant and high place or old age, but of the young whose death seemed somehow wrong when she saw a torn red rose on the stone of the young then questions the story of the woman who left it there. Her poignant words summarizing what the story might have been are woven with concern and love as the visitor wonders if she found another love or pined for years for the one who was dead.

This wonderful poem creates many images of concern, of love, of compassion, which makes it a privilege to read. The Poet mesmerizes her reader with the gravity of her quest to understand and wonder about the living, who may have lived emotionally dead for as long as her lover stayed in the grave.

I loved the suggestions in the final stanza: "I know she was keening, I hear her low moan;Despair stills the heart in the depth of the tone." What a poem of compassion and love of a wandering wondering soul "Dusk's cloak covers all and stones blur in soft rain, Let's leave her to rest where her secrets remain."

A wonderfully amazing poem; a privilege to read.You were one of the chosen by this month's Angel Army. I'm glad I came to your port. Every poem is truly perfection.
