I thought I'd do something different with this Musing. There are things that come up during unexpected moments that send a creative pulse through me. The other day, I drove by the cemetery and saw sprinklers going. I had several thoughts, and this poem is one of them explored. I'd like to invite you to post your thoughts about the subject "Sprinklers in the Cemetery" in the form of a poem, song or article. Just click the link below the poem.
Sprinklers in the Cemetery
by Angela Josephine
nettle pierces untended ground
untended heart?
while sprinklers in another cemetery
push deep as if to prod new life up
but if the dead will rise
do we judge
by the plots they are given?
and rosemary dries in the hot sun
just out of reach…

sprinklers in the cemetery
by laura wescott
like mourners
a grief saturated
an offering
the Lord kills and makes alive
He brings down to Sheol and raises up
the Lord makes poor and rich
He brings low, He also exalts
surrender
who is like You?
a paradox
for soon there are blooms
Sprinklers in the Cemetery
by Mark Clark
A facade
having the appearance of life
but below
just beneath the surface
lies
dust, death, decay
Much like the man
wearing the cross
or with Bible in hand
who has no love
has no compassion
and just below
just beneath his "religious"
exterior
he's full of dead men's bones.
everything is so restful
our loved ones now have complete rest and happiness,
the Lord takes care!
and from there we can share ...
his grace and love ...
