Classmates would raise their eyebrows at me, but I always found it a nice, peaceful walk. I liked the little patches of clover here and there, and the way the flat leaves all pointed at the sun with the same angle giving them a terraced look. I even found a four leafed clover once or twice among the gravestones. In the early morning a heavy fog moseyed through the trees surrounding the cemetery which lent them an enticing mysticism. It was peaceful and lovely because this cemetery had always just been a place like any other; it was like the beach, coffee shop or park, a place where people went sometimes. Not until right then, as I stood over my mother’s brand new final resting place, did it occur to me it was a place completely unlike any other. Exceptional in its oddness, this place was as beautiful as it was full of sadness, loneliness and decay. It was also then when I noticed how the poison oak, just turning crimson for the long autumn ahead, surrounded the grassy hill and looked suspiciously like a ring of fire.
