A Place to Die
By Richard Maxfield
3-28-2000

Through the swirling mist
To the grave yard of the dead
Lost in timeless thought
Where dreams rest their head

Where further hopes
Move into the past
A million dreams
That did not last

Dampened 
By the fallen tears
The pain of loss
Wasted years

No markers
To mark the spot
Martyrs to life
All it bought

Countless numbers
Haunt this place
Shadows roam
With featureless face

Whispering groans
Echo the cries
Where broken hearts
Come to die
