SPRINKLERS IN THE CEMETERY

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 ...
