Lady In Cemetery Poem by Dr. Charles A Stone

floating
above the stone
in custard-thick mist

alone
behind watery eyes
beyond a rapids of tears

she sits
on cold nights
waiting to be carried home

waiting
for Satan's wolf
to quench its appetite

calling
for passers-by
to show compassion

to forget
her transgressions
in the name of all that is holy

to pray
for her immortal soul
as she has prayed for forgiveness

afraid
that her inscription
will fade before her petitions

are heard
that she will be trapped
here forever - a woman without a name

a haunt
whose breath will shroud
tombstones until the end of time
