" There is a life and there is a death,
and there are beauty and melancholy between."
Quote _ Albert Camis
Everything was fading ...
and I was just floating,
in a white gauzy place;
and I heard mother's voice,
then, glimpses of her face !
Everything was fading ...
my name was an echo,
in a forest sublime;
I ran towards her voice,
that sweet voice lost in time !
Everything was fading ...
I ran through tangled trees,
weeping, please wait for me;
and the soft wind whispered,
go back- angel would be !
Everything was fading ...
I could hear odd noises,
sister kissing my hand;
her tears wet on my skin,
back- I held tight her hand !
Everything was fading ...
the forest became dreams,
yet, I was filled with peace;
and my heart held no doubt,
life is a masterpiece !
