Smile

Soft snowflakes lightly floated towards the ground,
At times touching her face,
Melted amidst the caress.

Here it was finally,
Long time had been,
Since she had cuddled by nature,
And had this feeling.

She felt familiar warmth that had been missed,
Since a while all she had felt was destitute and solitary.
At the moment her heart was slightly elevated,
As purity of the moment shielded her lovingly.

She looked up to the sky with her big beautiful eyes,
Maybe this was a kiss from natures’ valley?
Which deep inside she had been longing since so long.

Suddenly she felt an ache,
piercing through her heart.
What had been holding her so strong,
She wished would have stayed for a bit more long.

Memories which were locked deep within
Were set free to breathe once again,
The ghosts of the past were still alive,
Still and silent they stood by her side.

She wished her feelings and thoughts,
That were suffocated once before,
Could vaporize into oblivion now,
From burning tears that brought her pain.

Closing her eyes she took a deep breath,
Locking away the corpse of meaningless past,
She no longer wanted to cringe about,
what she had neither possessed nor lost.

She felt like a tranquil melody,
Swaying and syncing to nature’s tune,
As she walked down the deserted street,
Alongside houses that were blanketed by snow.

She looked up again towards the sky,
Watched the flakes come below,
With her lips slightly moving apart,
She caught a snowflake with her tongue.

She felt it trickle down,
Acquainting once again with a child's joy,
Once she had a quick look around,
Her pink lips curved up to reveal a shy smile.
