San Juan Mission Cemetery - New Mexico

San Juan Mission Cemetery - New Mexico

To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches.
— Charles Baudelaire

Cemeteries are always quiet, under sun or grey skies, whether the markers are decaying stone or wood. Names and dates, sometimes not even that, places where love is buried, maybe hate and relief and finally discovered calm. 

I read the names, words of comfort, and wonder about the people beneath my feet. Come resurrection, come rebirth and the infinite, I find peace in these places, surrounded by the dead.
