Memories

"Mid November"

It was in mid November

Between the droplets of rain

I passed near the cemetery on my way home

And I saw you

Kneeling over the grave of a forefather

With the rain cleansing your tears streaming down 

As you put a rose near the epitaph

And punish your lips for thinking heartfelt thoughts

Then you stood, staring at me

Your icy blue eyes in line with my earthy brown

It was as if the whole world stopped breathing

Just to give us a minute of silence

I felt your pain and anger

While you were still punishing your lips

Your clothes were drenched

I guess men don't use umbrellas

As I opened my mouth to express my condolences

You walked away

And our minute of silence broke

The best minute of my life

Was also the most mind boggling
