The poem is on the artwork, but here it is as well.

Eternal Resting Place

Trees, upright, reaching to the gray sky
Guardians of the dead rest there
In those empty branches
Here they have watched since first they came
The harsh call of their spirits
Trapped here in this place, in this time
Echoes through the trees.
They yet walk here, leaving trails in the snow
And fluttering above
The dark shapes of carrion eaters
They watch still, the slow march on the wind
Death, the dead, they who were wait here
Breathless in the cold
