A piece of slate,
with a name and date,
telling a story,
that only one can tell.
But they're gone.
We can feel the essence
of their presence,
but we can never be sure
who they once were.

Sad
I found this entry to be sad. I loved how it was worded, though...and I see you chose your words wisely in the 15 minutes provided. Take it from me...entering this contest was hard. I love your entry...so dark and foreboding. Hopefully you'll get a chance to read mine. Good luck.
