The Night seems to walk.
Never hurried like the day,
yet restless still,
It moves.
Monoliths rise about,
stark pillars of stone
moonlit
gravemarkers.
And shrink....To cemetary stones,
no kings here,
or men of noble rank,
endless lines of noone.....
Nobody here and no body there,
where these bodies lie
endless rows of bodies....
Nobody.
Despite the chill of decay,
and murmur of restless spirits,
(full of regrets
they wish their stories told,
but never to be heard....)
still all I see is headstones,
gravestones,
markers.
So beautiful they be,
finely crafted,
gothic and
lovely,
yet they make me sad,
not for the bodies -
who are they to me?
Yet Gravestones....
(markers)
may mark the death of ideas,
dreams,
nightmares,
And in the walking, purposeful night,
theres nothing but dead dreams,
and painful future,
and Gravestones.....

I love these lines...
Never hurried like the day,
yet restless still,
It moves.
Dark, Mysterious ... and religious?

Not intended to be religious, but I like that you interpreted it that way. Oo we could really rip poetry apart for hours couldnt we! Now Im seeing new things.
Wait for 'Trickle' coming up today. My crowning achievement so far!
