sooted
candelarias
greeted my Christmas morn
along with the flakes of snow that freely falls---
the ground shivered with me as I
touched your hand
that is as cold
as the asphalt covered
with white that somehow
immitated your lips
so pale 'tis
daffodils replaced the poinsettias
mourners replaced the gifts
tears replaced the smiles
still, we hope you're happy where ever you are

still, we hope you're happy where ever you are
This happened two years back and it still breaks my heart.
