Twisted thoughts

Flowers of the dead

Why do we bring flowers to the cemetary?
Why do we offer and light candles to them?
What is it that they like?
Was it the smell of the burning candle? Was it the sweet smell of flowers?

And then an image of a melancholic girl with shoulder length hair flashed in my mind.
It was winter. The atmosphere is dark and so are the clouds gloomy. She is with someone in the cemetery, visiting a loved one.
"There. Flowers will make this place lively. They bring color to this world of dead people. They will not be lonely anymore. This place won't look so lonely anymore."
