When Her Brave Son's Coffin Arrived

She kissed her dead son's face cold,pale,white and lifeless, then started talking to him as if he was alive, or her words would revive him,from his deep sleep it seemed; her blank vision looking past this cruel scorching moment,for a fading dream. **In memory of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.Google this brave son of India. The newsclip was so heart wrencing..it still haunts me. ################################################# Poetry Form- Balassi Stanza : The Rhyme Scheme is: bbaccadda Syllable count is: 667667667 ################################################ ====================================================
