"I sit

with the stones

until silence

abides silence."

"Silence abides silence" reminded me of the hymn, " Abide With Me", and the line, "Abide with me, fast falls the eventide". Beautiful poem, profound sentiment.

The “shadows… / over uneven ground” is such an advanced technique. And that’s what makes you a poet. That you used the word “uneven,” here, in this way. I’d have to write multiple paragraphs to explain why I think it’s a perfect choice, so instead I’ll just say bravo.

Gorgeous cemeteries

Noble with stones

Marking achievements

Unending returns

Stories that answer

The question of kids

What lies beyond

Past the life end’s abyss?
