Triolet

Cemetery by ilo1940

Cemetery

Through bony fingered shadows slip the mists,
and fog envelopes stones as darkness grows.
While longing of decaying souls persists,
through bony fingered shadows slip the mists.
They fly amongst the trees, writhing in twists,
but with the dawn, lie frigid in repose.
Through bony fingered shadows slip the mists,
and fog envelopes stones as darkness grows.
