They call it the Altar of the Graveyard

Gorgeously haunting

Tragically reminiscing

Here’s to new memories

‘Till death do us part’ they chant,

But the bodies beneath differ;

Becoming one with the roots

And complete with another

All that entered knew they’d never return

They’d fall to the soil

Knees brown,

Face pale,

The candles ahead lighting

their demise enscribed on the tombstones

and written in the stars.
