Juliet That's All Gone Now.

All that is gone now,

at least time.

The church and the cemetery

are still there,

but you are not,

just shadows of you

where we once stood

and looked at the headstones

and legends and dates.

The afternoon sun sets

among the graves

and over the church.

Time passes,

shadows remain,

memories open,

and for a moment

you are there

and we are young

and the sun

that

we think

belongs to us,

but then it is gone,

and the afternoon sun weakens,

and I stand

and remember you

among the graves, your smile.

Now you rest

in your grave

in a place I do not know,

and the evening comes

like a flowing, soft sea.
