Black Flag

#2 of Old hopes, new challenges

Today's a black day. I put out a black flag to show my gratitude to a person who passed on.

Maybe that's why the sky is also crying. It hurts my heart to hear this.

But what even hurts me more is seeing a grown women cry. To be specific, my Mom.


Dedicated to a person who just passed on.

"We will remember you forever."


A black flag

Flowing through the air

Half stick

Tears falling from the eyes

Women and children crying

"Why?" they asking

Pain of the heart

Nothing will be the same anymore

Although I can't emote with my face

My feelings are the same with those who lost their loved ones

I raise my hand and salute to you

My mouth opens

My eyes shimmering, filled with tears

"Rest in peace. We will miss you."
