PERE LACHAISE CEMETARY

nephilim56

A cherub rests
A tired head
Upon  knees
Of tarnished bronze.

An angel places
Laurel leaves
Upon weathered stone 
Of forgotten dreams.

The white lines lay
Upon a grassy bed
To slumber deep
In thought.

Its tree lined path
Bears upright marble
Marked in names
Of those departed.

A crow it rests 
In silent stare
Upon a cross 
Draped in crimson foliage.

A plaque it bears
" ETERNIA"
For the struggles of art
Are so.
