Cemeteries

Cemeteries 

Cemeteries, the places I go for peace and quiet, to ponder my life as I walk amongst the dead. 

One of the best places to gather one's thoughts, to puzzle over the complexities of my own existence. 

Finding someone who loves cemeteries as much as me, is a rare find; enough said. 

You are my kind of human for sure, since you are comfortable walking with me amongst the graves without being scared or tense. 

 

Cemeteries creep most people out, where I seek solace there, surrounded by the tombs and gravestones. 

Names and dates, maybe a brief quote to tell you about a life started and ended; the shorter ones making me curious. 

You are too I think; though you make up your own little story about the life cut short, lived by the person who is now no more than dust and bones. 

Always a humorous twist because that is just you and I love it; giving me even more reason to enjoy exploring the graveyards, an adventure that surely suites us! 

 

Cemeteries are usually avoided by the living, no one wanting to think about their own inevitable demise. 

Yet you, like me; find peace amongst the dead, a silence deeper than anywhere else, that allows for thinking and pondering the bigger picture. 

No one to interrupt the thoughts running through our heads; finding someone that enjoys that as much as I do was a pleasant surprise. 

Having a companion to seek out these final resting places with; makes it even more fun, bringing serious conversation as well as silly stories makes for a crazy mixture!
