3969. CONTINUANCE THROUGH COMMEMORATION

CONTINUANCE THROUGH COMMEMORATION
This morning's white fog, stretched thick, 
was heavy on the land as I crossed old
St. Paul's graveyard. Amidst the natural
smoke, I spied the crosses and the angels
of the graves. In that whitened half-light
they seemed still pure, ephemeral even.
More pure than ever before. Yet, I 
held no lesson from it but  -  
perhaps  -  a vague idea of 
continuance through 
commemoration.
