Of Ashes and Snow... #repost

Long ago, a barren land,

Alone with its infertile sand.

Unaware of the sight of greenery,

Barely knew what is serenity.

Never heard a chirp of bird,

Never seen a blossom of bud.

Heat, snow and rainfall,

Around these its world revolved.

Being used to same state,

Didn't allow a plant to tend its chest.

Tired of feelings hard to imagine,

To love and be loved by none, was the conviction.

But who knows the games fate plays,

That a small seed can change days.

A bloom grew into a forest of dove,

That my friend is the power of love. 

Promises of tomorrows in dreams of today,

A love so strong to rob all doubts away.

Every love had to give the test of time,

A storm smoothed the land with its chime,

Not long it took to draw back to sanity,

A bubble of illusion burst by reality.

Coming back to senses when it was recalled,

Happiness is short-lived, vows are void, they say all.

A dying hope of love to return,

Maybe tomorrow bring a different sun.

Days passed, months flied,

Hopes and wishes all died.

Summer came to burn it into ashes,

Winter arrived to freeze it with snow.

That barren land is a place in my heart,

Tell the untold tale of ashes and snow!
