Down among the dead
A place I sometimes go
Even though I'm only visiting
And there's no-one here I know
I come here for the solitude
And peace I gain herein
To listen to the voices
Carried softly by the wind
They tell me of their stories
Tales of lives gone by
And when I've finished listening
I can hear them gently sigh
Returning to their headstones
They know it's time to leave
Spirits free and happy
The time has passed to grieve
Down among the dead
Place of beauty I know well
But I know it's not my time
So it wouldn't do to dwell...
