Winter Gravestones

I am getting older

not too old

but old enough to see

memories in graveyards,

and to ponder,

                                 someone's father who tilled the land

a youth who road a bike on country roads

a farmer's wife who raised chickens

gardens in the fall

winter snow

spring thaw

and how

some things die

while others live forever

if only in our minds

Winter Gravestones
