The cemetery

by bertie-bug box - Cancer

By day, the graveyard trees
For the mourners grieve, and
Shed pink tears in a breeze.
The sun's a kind warm hand
Upon the families,
Who weep for bones below the stones.

But, cruel night, when he comes by,
And lays the sun to rest;
His moon it's headstone high
Within his darkling nest,
He shines a frightening light
And grotesque shadows tend the stones.

And like some moaning skeletons,
The trees wave arms of skin and bone.
No one will come back to mourn the dead:
Lest the dead should rise from their beds!
