Gravestones

Granite stones with fading letters
flowers gone to seed
only blooming on the remembered few
whose loved ones come to find respite
from the thundering quiet that fills
the empty spaces created by their absence
Waiting for the deafening silence to become
peaceful stillness among the stones
