Unknown Souls
Fallen shrubs spiders web
Writing fades each day
Unknown souls buried deep
Their memories slip away
Stones tilted, earth subsides
Mist comes crawling in
Forgotten names laying cold
In caskets deep within
Within the walls made of stone
Stand trees so great and bold
No chapel stands inside these grounds
To tell of these souls of old

- Comment from author about the poem: I lived around 400 metres from a graveyard and I was saddened by the obvious loss of care for these souls graves. Some were over 70 years old, lost family links.
