Last day,
I went to the meadows
and walked the vastness
of the hazel tapestry of burnt grasses.
Under the melting temperature of the sun,
I had my errand of vague itinerary
and swam the ocean of warmth
that had forsaken me for a while.
I was like a child
who longed of those good old days
and rolled over the earth
beneath the calming cirrus clouds
and the deep blue hue of the pleasing sky.

I strayed upon the limits of my feet, transgressed the barbed wires
that divides the place from a nearby stream.
From a distance,
I captured myself drooling.
With verocious excitement,
I ran swiftly towards the pristine water
as to how nesting birds
quench their eagerness to fly.
In bended knees,
I grasped the water
and washed my face thoroughly,
seized my soul with overwhelming glory.

As I looked down,
I mirrored the pale sheets of agonized romances
that bade farewell last winter solstice.
It led me to reminisce all the voids
that a ghost never tried to fill in.
Yet, it sought its mortality.
The coffin must be burried
as well as the bitter sweet lies
I was once deceived.
I already won the olympics of mourning.
"Enough", I said and stood back again.

I brazened up and saw the sun,
and drank its comforting heat.
It was something I missed
from the previous ephemeral winter trip I had.
Gratefully, I sighed with jovial heart.
Preface embraces me again.
For as long as the sun sets at dawn,
this new story will heed no epilogue.
