Black Reunion

A/N: Another poem that one of my friends and I made in Music class.

In a cemetery

Crowds of people

Gathered ‘round

Their loved ones’ tombstones

The townspeople put their flowers

On the tombstones

Which were lying in the earth

The silent and cold underground

One person singing

A mourning song

Everyone else

With their heads bowed low

And their faces wet with tears.

Some people died

With unfinished business

Business that was very important

For the little town

Some had been in the hospital

Others in a nursing home

But all of them died with dignity

For they were not afraid of death

Next comes the speech

Reminding them all

The good times and the bad times

That everyone shared

Some smiles appearing on faces

Red from sobbing

Some faces lit up

With bittersweet laughs

As people left the cemetery

At the end of the speech

The trees moved in the wind

As though to show more sadness will come
