Ohio Sunset

Graveyard at sunset

Walking along, another dusty town
General store, Hardware outlet, an old Church
but no one is around, it's sunset
.
In the distance, a bulbuous gleam
upon the horizon, below encroaching twilight
the stars reflect off a steeple,
one likening to Buffalo's Bank, golden
Romanesque
.
The soft luminescence of evening wraps me,
warm and welcoming, I find
an old stone wall, moss enshrined;
inviting respite from the journey
a graveyard twice blessed
.
Can't read the graves in the darken night,
too worn by the rigors of time,
so I sit and smoke a cigarette
in a gazebo composed of plant life,
the living rise from stone in testament
.
Poe, my Poe, blinking bright;
a breathing burst of jade to light
my way between dearly deceased,
you afford grand meaning to this sight
in being little things now earth ascendant

i think sunset over lake erie is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen. probably because it is a marriage between god's greatest glory (sun and great body of water) and man's humble ugliness (factories, rundown buildings, trash, concrete everything)

though your poem is from another view, it is all still there. wonderfully done.

This poem brought chills to my spine, Tyler. I am originally from Ohio and have many relatives buried there. This is a brilliant work!
Thanks.

Tyler: I love the thought, the mood, the setting in this piece.
It all works together.
Put myself into it.
