Our Date In The Cemetery

Walking side by side,
searching for
unknown grave markers
for a stranger who needs to know.

Silence, Beauty,
Sadness, Peace
all join in the search
to complete someone’s
family tree,
prove the existence
of one more link
to family roots.

Not yours, not mine,
a stranger that cares
and so we care enough
to find a headstone
covered in moss,
there, click, done.

Another date together
in the cemetery.
