A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: Elergy

Contest Image

I see a young girl seated in a room with a lamp lit and placed on the table. A clock is placed on the floor with her dog lying close to her. The moon is pouring into her room from the window and some flowers petals on the floor. I think she is heartbroken or feel disappointed at the turn of events.

Oh Graham, I wish you were here
The moonlight is here
Just like the first day we met
How time flies

You walked in and illuminated my world
A world that was once dark
A world you mend and brought back to life
How time flies

You came in and everything became new
I felt the warm touch from the very first day
It was indeed a magical touch
That resonated with the heart

We shared everything together
We became friends
That can never be torn apart
It was meant to last forever

So we all thought and enjoyed
Like the epicureans
It was fun althrough the time
While it lasted

Oh, Graham where art thou
The flowers I bought are becoming
Dry and weary
The wind has blown them away

I came prepared the way you wanted
I kept waiting for your soft voice
To resonate through my ears
And announce your triumphant arrival

Alas, I was mistaken
It was a rather sober voice that came
I rushed out to meet you
On the sick bed in the hospital

Oh Graham sickness struck
And at first I thought you'll
Pull through and come back to me
Like always: But I was wrong

As I watch you slip away from me
I cried so hard
But could not conceal the great agony
Of missing you forever

Billy is here with me!
We all await your triumphant comeback
Will it ever happened, I ask?
Who knows, I responded.

My eyes are fixed on the lamp
My guess is in the skies
My looks are on the watch
To see if I can wind back the hands of time.

Adios!!!
