I've never tried drawing them before so I decided to try out isometric room designs for each of the Drawtober prompts! This is for the first prompt, overgrown cemetery

"Peaceful Flights"
Dawn’s early dew glistens with will-o-wisp light
Sending pale moth’d souls between worlds
Peaceful messengers find rest on gravestones, quiet
Towards the tunnel-visioned light
They flutter ceaselessly into the night
Looking for salvation in the burning beyond
In holy fire cleansed of sin
How water once did before
With rising sun, ascend, with flames’ tendril
Pursue tomorrow such is thine will
Dead might whisper from within the wood
Listen yes, yet pay no mind
The fog will pass like slumbering blankets
Laid to rest beneath
Where moths and souls and others’
Sired with sin cannot transgress
Chase the flickering wisps of light for glimpses
Of some greater purpose in the rainbowed hues
of the sunrise’s peaceful morning dews
Upon the headstones knelt at like pews

One of the things I really love about Judaism is how we put stones on our loved ones graves. I love that I can have a permanent way of saying I love you and you haven’t been forgotten. Flowers are beautiful but it’s no permanent. I love that I can go to a cemetery and see who’s visited often just by how many stones that are there. I think it’s very beautiful
Yeah, it's really beautiful. Flowers wilt and decay, but stones are forever.
A few years ago my family and I went on a roadtrip of the American Southwest (our destination was the Grand Canyon, but we made a lot of sightseeing stops along the way and back). We stopped at Tombstone, because my dad is a huge fan of Western films, and I had done some research beforehand and learned there was a historic Jewish cemetery there. Of course, we wanted to pay our respects, but most of the staff there had no idea what we were talking about when we asked about the Jewish cemetery. Finally, someone was able to tell us that it was off of an overgrown path off the main cemetery. We found the Jewish cemetery, and learned that the cemetery had been destroyed years ago, with the walls and tombs taken to build houses. It was largely forgotten for many years, until Lawrence Huerta, a member of the Yaqui tribe, realized its significance in around the 1970s-80s and notified the nearby Jewish community in Arizona. The Yaqui offered their solidarity with the Jewish community, and helped to build a memorial on the site of the cemetary. The graves had long been destroyed, so no one really knows how many people are buried there, and according to Jewish law no one wants to excavate it, because it's not necessary knowledge. Now, a memorial stands there, and it's mostly a very large mound of stones with a plaque. My family and I prayed there and left more stones.
This is a photo I took of it. We didn't go any closer, because we didn't want to accidentally step over any graves. But we left lots of stones on the ruins of the walls.
Anyway, it really moved me to see this incredible memorial and to have the oppurtunity to pay my respects to those forgotten.
Stones are forever.

“Cemetary Space"
Dearly untended daisies pushed
Like twenty-something’s drinks
Mismanaged multi-level-marketed graves
Body stacked with little space
And less concern for well being of the departed
Sold into sandalwood coffins
Walk through the idlewooded aisles
Full of unwished-upon dandelions ready to spring life anew
What life now wanders through such graven places
Nearly ended, fallen limbs and leaves
Too great a spectre left to rest
With seasons changing as best as stars
High will rise the mausoleum
With little cause or ease then
The dead will reign, untethered
Tar and feathered for trespassing
Passing life on deadly ground
Severely mended guardians’ stone
Addled letters, and worn off words
Flowers pressed, impressed, and laid to rest
As dandelions hue the milky way
Childish wishes grown old like stars
Will they turn in graves untended
Overgrown with mulch, mold, mildew
And other merry things
Of the still and lifeless things so brimmed
With warmth these days grown cold
