018 Snowfall

A wintery picture of All Saint's Church Graveyard

Snowfall

As the soul dust settles
upon the sleeping dead
the world turns monotone
and quietness
shrouds the days' drowning voice

The cloud laden ground
hides its bounty.
Ron Davies died 1949,
headstone fallen 2008,
waits in ambush
for unwary footfall.
All undulating pathways
ironed out and whitewashed
like history
or writers' block.

There are no footprints here,
the trodden pathways are blotted out
death has a way of doing that.
