An ancient graveyard.
Monuments and markers tell
Tales of family.
An ancient graveyard.
Monuments and markers tell
Tales of family.
In midwatch hours,
Bows slicing dark rolling sea,
luminescent wake.
While others sleep,
The vigilant stand watch over
The silent sea.
Waiting to write,
Some epic line in the night.
Covered in cobwebs.
Not nautical or civil,
this cloudy night no twilight!
No horizon, no star sight.
In the night words form,
perfect ideas all aligned.
Fleeing at daybreak.
Chimes rhyming the hours,
Slowly, melodiously, through the night,
Mark the passing hours.
Bassins, Capital Hill,
soulful singer between acts,
early Roberta Flack.
Maya Angalou,
known to many. Few recognize,
Langston Hughes.
