My grave
A place where my body will rest
Under the earth
Feeling the patter of feet upon my bones
Tucked away in my case
My world trapped in one place
No harm can for sake
Lay flowers for me
Light a candle in the wind
Just to let me know you love me
Haven't forgotten me through the long waited years
Let me admire your presence
Inhale your scent
Place your hand upon my grave
To mark where you've been
Say my name
Softly, let me be known
Invite me into your world
Let me wrap around your every word
Hear your gentle voice
Let me see your face age through the days
If only I can touch your skin
The warmth it brings
Manipulate your hair while it runs through my fingers
Visit me anytime
Through any occasion or season
Watch the autumn leaves fall upon my grave
The sunshine that will reflect on your face
My grave will be where my body will rest
But my soul will fly away
My soul will be with you everyday

- Comment from author about the poem: I have lost quite a lot of people through death and other reasons and writing a poem like this in first person really gave me comfort and helped me come to terms with losing people. Really hope you enjoy it

I think it is
Very good Shannon
It's a difficult topic
To cover especially
When it's about
Yourself but you
Have done it justice
Well done....
Thank you, yes it was hard to write about but even though it was in first person I was imagining being someone who I have lost through death and writing it from their view, if that makes any sense
Perfect sense!!!
A fine write S.
