White Ashes



ENGLISH  IVY



There I stood alone in a gloomy place.

It was dark and chills become evident from the cold nature.

All i could do was just wonder around;

the surroundings of tall trees and cold breeze.

And  i took my turn,

a sudden Heavenly Colleen seated on a bench captured my eyes.

Alone and smiling so bright.

I understood by the way she called me,

signalling by her right,

went nearer, she showed me her gravestone,

we smiled at each other.

Then waved goodbye.

She still smiled,

where the creepers began to cover her slowly, fading away.

I woke up,

so full of grief-

the prettiest star left.

I watch the morning snowfall outside my window.
