Dark gloomy sky was weeping above,Pouring torrents of rain.As if nature was empathising with me,And crying alongside, in my pain.My clothes and my heart were equally drenched,As I stood there heartbroken, sad and subdued.The universe was laughing at me,After being harsh and rude.It had taken away my most precious treasure from me,Evangeline: my love, my life. My heart constricted in my chest,As if someone had twisted in a knife.Standing in the downpour, I realised...As we gradually lowered her rosewood casket,She now belonged to another world,And the earth had embraced her in its coarse blanket.Evangeline - My Evangeline,My dear wife now sleeps
