The white shroud covered her body;

                   And

In his house the prayer was chanted and a sound of suppressed tears filled the air.

The water droplets touched her lips washing away the pain, making her peaceful smile even more prominent.

                   And

His body was bathed, covered with new clothes.

Six coins, some letters he wrote her and chocolates ;she loved them, she's taking them with her.

                    And

One diary, kites that she sent him on their 15 th anniversary;these are the last things he wanted to take with him.

Cherry blossoms caressed her cheeks as the fire started to burn the edge of her kimono.

                   And

White water lilies looks at silently as his coffin passed by .

Her fire coloured the sky scarlet

                And

His burial created the portal of a motionless land.

Her ashes remained

           And

His gravestone kept telling
"Maybe in next life .... "


It was not a day to rain for.
Yet,
it rained.

Somewhere in this rain,
A promise was kept.

A promise of years back,
Back when 'He' and 'She' were children,
Back when being together was happiness;
Back when.....
                       this happiness created love..

It rained,
         The world was quite ;
Only the sky echoed her promise to the land ......

" I'll follow you even through hell.... I'll be chasing you wherever you go. "

There she goes again.....
....... Chasing for him.
