He wanders alone searching...

He wanders alone searching...

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Silent is the grave yard
Bare are the trees
While a grey ghost
Sits slumped on a tombstone
Marked, but not of his name.
Sad, forlorn, tired, he grieves.
In life he had dementia
And now having just died
With unfinished business
He remains searching..
For his marked grave.
He cannot remember his name.

As always you find an 'off centre' subject or approach. And in this you did both. The image of the ghost with dementia is so sad.
