This cross stands alone at the cemetery’s entrance, waiting for visitors. It’s an old cemetery in which most of the gravestones are broken or missing. There hasn’t been a burial here for over 80 years. Someone, at some time, put wooden crosses on many of the graves. The task was never completed, and there is a pile of weathered, fading crosses tucked to one side, back under the trees. But there is also this cross, leaning against a tree near the entrance, waiting patiently to greet all who visit.

Thanks for the comments.
I am a haunter (pun intended) of old cemeteries but, I must confess, have gotten past the stage of looking at these things with much emotion. When you see a broken, fallen tombstone inscribed “Always Remembered” and realize that those who would do the remembering are now themselves merely memories, you find it interesting and fascinating, but hardly melancholy.

I was trying to pick a word. Sad is probably it.
