Cemetery Song
By Circe Avalon
In the whispers of the wind
A sweet night calls to me
And from the darkness lies within
A precious melody
Softly does the breeze sing its ever sorrowful tune
And many a gentle stranger holds out his hand to you
But as I lie in wonder
As I yet lie in wait
Never do I negate
The feeling that I am irate
From where this melody
And why this promising
Whatever has lain before
Has been dormant and not developing
Had I never wondered
Had I crossed the line
Now I sit and wait for the passing of time
As I watch the others die
As I cry steady rivers
Never will I know a time
That I had not felt deaths shivers

the beginning two stanzas are so hauntingly beautiful and what you are expressing here is powerful. however IMMHO the flow kinds of breaks at stanza three and doesnt pick up again until the last stanza. Very nicely done overall though.
