I like to write in the graveyard, I know people there It’s nice and quiet, city sounds fill the air A peaceful feeling comes over my mind All of the memories my heart can find I don’t see any ghost walking, I only hear voices Some trying to say make better choices
I like writing in front of my grandfather’s stone He makes me feel like I’m not alone I look up, I see more stones of granite All those names and dates, with no faces Their memories are there, just in different places When I finish and it’s time to leave I’ll dry my eyes, stand quietly and grieve
As a poet, I take my notebook anywhere and find inspiration there too. Doesn't always work. Sometimes I come home with empty pages.
