Lonely visitor
Karen Lee Stradford
The sun is setting.
Mausoleum suddenly has a
fading glare.
People come and go
in a hurry,
leaving behind
prayers and plants.
Forty-five minutes passed,
a sad man appears
out of the shadow
leaning against
a tomb.
A tear fell.
He said he was happy
to see
that someone else has more
time to spare.
