This skimming light

I went for a walk in the late afternoon
low sunbeams loved the far horizon
a touch of rain was left
and every touch a marker
of recent written history

I passed the graveyard as I often do
here where a touch of man lies left
and every touch a marker
of recent written history

this stone marked 1883
when you were born in Groningen
and 1947 left in Amersfoort
seen centuries
two wars and many more

a touch once slowly carved in stone
I almost hear the knocking hammer yet
bells calling out your hidden name

a distant call vague after many years
yet a newly written history
in face of time
here in the skimming light
of this late afternoon
