Symbolic Interlude


Gravestones, agedly weathered,
Abuts a stream-
Waves non-existent, surface darkish green,
Join a shore of rock and pine

Solitude, a prerequisite for the gardener,
Sculpting land, tending time,
The harvest reaper, hems overgrowth’s expanse

Amongst serene, stately oaks
Predators and prey, together alive,
The deathly throes of arms- snipped and hewn,
Casters of shade, accosters of view

Weaving loom of the architect
Combines placard & obelisk
Offering summarized biographies

In respect, we pause in reflect,
A stir of mourning & philosophy mix to show
Division still exists- as castes built with breath
Merge to form, the segregated plots of death
