Lost Cemetery

Become a Fan

Rocks crunched beneath my feet
As I walked
Up the path,
Lined with tall, faded green grasses,
Yuccas and mesquites,
Leading up to
A scenic overlook
Of the lake
At Elephant Butte.
Somewhere in the
Wild, untamed desert wilderness
People say there's
A cemetery, where
Eleven children are buried
Long ago for reasons unknown,
But I, nor anyone else,
Can find it.

It is often sad that lack of funds and interest often lead to a part of our history dissappearing. I know their was an old graveyard with about five partial grave markers still visible then years ago up int he country where my cottage once was, the local historical society had tried to salvage and keep it in repair but when funding ran out it went to ruin and now cannot even be seen...sad fee
