We came upon a clearing in the woods
a little cemetery, private
in its surroundings

three obelisks in a row, one
in two parts, the others
weathered from changing times

here a young lad aged six
there Adeline, only two

within the family plot they rest
a mom and dad and uncles too
McPherson, Robertson and
Dunn by name

we came upon a clearing in
the woods and left with thoughts
a hundred years ago.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

One day my wife and I visited her sister in the country near Westville, NS and went for a walk on their large property. Not so far away we came across an old family burial spot. I began the poem to honour this precious memory knowing nature would soon bury the scene.
