Cemetery

On life death etc journey

It's the midnight hour
It's that crazy moon
It's rising high
It's over the rolling dune
It's the shadows that I
See
It's the cemetery
I'm alone just me
It's the place I'd rather not to be
It's my destiny
And has been forevermore
It's what lies in store
It's dark at midnight hour

I wonder where the spirits go
I see them high and higher they must go
The graves the cemetery
They dwell no longer there
They already climbed the steep winding stair
And that's why I don't visit here
My family they no longer there

They left a calling card
For me I see on some
Lonely marble grave site see
It says I came here long ago
And in my footsteps you will go
My trail is not so easy just you see
There are no stop signs
Or speed humps here
Just a one way ticket
That'll get you there
No return fare to homes we know
All our blessed families miss us so

So be ready
It'll happen long before you know
To take this hike
So get that compass set up right
Cos east means west
And north will take you
Way down south
It's so confusing
So better get ready
Get things right
With your own destiny
In sight

Yes true
But at least we had the start and a journey to get to that end
When I was five yes five I asked mum what if there was nothing no world no people nothing she couldn't answer me no one can we are here by the grace of God that is my gift from him to have a life I hope there's a heaven see my poem called heaven that I what I see waiting hope it doesn't offend some lol but we are free to put up poems any beliefs etc
