As I took rest
With the soothing cool breeze
Blowing around,
Feeling the dry yellow leaves
All over me
Covering the dust,
I saw you walking down,
Slowly, with closed eyes,
Full of grace as always,
Towards me with hands full,
Carrying a lighted half candle
And a wreath of flowers white.
I smiled being ecstatic,
Feeling your soft hairs,
As you stood again in front
Of the memorial stone,
After a year passed by,
With deep tears rolling down
From your moist eyes.
I cried hard, I tried hard
To wipe it out as I used to then,
But felt the intense pain
As it was all in vain,
And thus realised again,
That I was a dead man,
Who is there to remain,
Silent forever.
