The Message Of The Shadows Poem by cheryl davis miller

Shadows dancing
across the graves.
Give place to thoughts
of yesterdays.
Of births and deaths
and life-times spent.
Of mourners wondering
'where time went.'
Of wagers lost
and ventures gained.
Of love in full bloom
and loves that waned.
Of beginnings and ends
and beginning again.
Of the fate that awaits
all manner of men.
Amidst the shadows
a message is heard
the spectors speak
without saying a word.

'Live well, love all',

'Share life', they call,

'And dance, beneath the shining sun',

'Before your time, on earth is done'...

5-10 c.d.m.
