Jeder Krieg, egal in welchem Teil der Erde, ist schrecklich
und jeder tote Mensch, ob jung oder alt, Soldat oder Zivilist,
ist einer zuviel, ist sinnlos gestorben und bringt unendliches Leid.
Werden Macht-haber das niemals begreifen???

Death and the Lady
As I walked out one morning in May
The birds did sing and the lambs did play
The birds did sing and the lambs did play
I met an old man, I met an old man
I met an old man by the way
His head was bald, his beard was grey
His coat was of a myrtle shade
I asked him what strange countryman
Or what strange place, or what strange place
Or what strange place he did belong
"My name is Death, cannot you see?
Lords, dukes, and ladies bow down to me
And you are one of those branches three
And you fair maid, and you fair maid,
And you fair maid must come with me"
"I'll give you gold and jewels rare
I'll give you costly robes to wear
I'll give you all my wealth in store
If you'll let me live, if you'll let me live
If you'll let me live a few years more"
"Fair lady, lay your robes aside
No longer glory in your pride
And now, sweet maid, make no delay
Your time is come, your time is come
Your time is come and you must away"
And not long after this fair maid died
"Write on my tomb," the lady cried,
"Here lies a poor distressed maid
Whom Death now lately, whom Death now lately
Whom Death now lately hath betrayed"

In the night
In the night, sometimes I wake
to your hand on my chest &
I smile to myself & breathe
deeply
unwilling to move beyond that,
in case I disturb the perfect
arrangement of moments
that brought me here
to you.

Silence
The light shines
at the feet of the angel
sit down and listen

Love poems...
Not very good with love poems to the world,
so they usually just end up saying,
How's it going? to everyone they meet

More fair...
They left me with your shadow, saying things like Life is not fair & I believed them for a long time. But today, I remembered the way you laughed & the heat of your hand in mine & I knew that life is more fair than we can ever imagine if we are there to live it

Legacy
I promise you not a moment will be lost as long as I have heart & voice to speak & we will walk again together with a thousand others & a thousand more & on & on until there is no one among us who does not know the truth: there is no future without love.

Photos of St. Wiperti-Cemetery in Quedlinburg, Germany
The UNESCO World Heritage Quedlinburg With its many treasures of historic buildings has truly offer the preservationists and interested in the subject overwhelming. This also applies to the Sepulkralkultur on the two suburban cemeteries Wiperti St. and St. Servati .
The cemetery of St. Wiperti belongs to the three-aisled basilica of the same name on the grounds of the royal court , Henry I , son of Otto the Illustrious . Its origin dates back to the year 936 . Of particular importance is the erected around 1000 dealing with crypt Ottonian Pilzkapitellen and arched niches .
On three sides the Basilica is surrounded by the cemetery. The plain to the mountain chapel is largely filled with graves of the present. The Chapel Hill , however, carries a large number of baroque family graves very special way: they have been worked out as a vault in two superimposed floors in a long line from the rock. Here especially families of wealthy citizens of Quedlinburg city , canons and clerics have their final resting place . Almost all Grabgelasse are closed with massive vaulted arches of basket oak doors with small round window grilles. The gratings are designed in the motives crown of thorns , anchor and directed downward erlöschender torch. Most of the lower arch are at ground level , but sometimes down two tiers .
The upper layer of the grave vault has been applied offset to the rear . One reason is the ventilation of the lower tombs : From the bottom of the second floor of her serving tubes are extended . This guarantees through the open window grille , a steady exchange of air.
This facility is north of the Alps is unique and is a listed building . Your state is different : Some vaults have been restored and renovated recently. Most bear evidence of their years , but there are also very vulnerable , which, however , because occasionally open to allow a view into the interior .
When the Wipertifriedhof around the middle of the 19th Century was almost occupied, acquired the evangelical church to the new burial place of St. Servati . Again, grave vaults were built after the pattern of the neighborhood , but bricked classic. The conservation status is different, in whole but not as good as on St. Wiperti . On St. Servati are often grave locations on two levels - also down - to be found . One of the tombs is now used as a columbarium .
The tomb of the famous family of Quedlinburg , the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803) , one looks at the Wipertifriedhof but in vain . Your underground vault near the Church is not obtained. But who wants to pay homage to the great Klopstock, can do that in the immediate vicinity of Hamburg : his grave , which is his two wives and his child to find in the cemetery of the Christian Church in Ottensen .

Cemetery Sunday
She decided early on that she wanted independence more
than she wanted love & it took her half her life
to figure out she could have had both
than she wanted love & it took her half her life

Cemetery Sunday
She said she usually cried at least once each day
not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.
