LILA.
Dust settled on the coffin.I was watching from the pew on the right
hand side of the church,my head slighty bowed.My mind was clouded.I was
trying to take a mental photograph so i could remember this.But my
brain just wouldnt function.
Too many thoughts hammering at my skull,too many voices chanting
prayers around me.My eyes began to swell and the candles danced in
front of me.
That smell,of burning inscence will forever stay with me.Clinging to my
hair.My clothes.Me.I closed my eyes and imagined a beach.In the west of
ireland,in Winter.Just cold enough so that my cheeks were rosy.Lila was
there with me.Perched on a rock,legs swinging,eyes smiling through the
fog off the sea.
"Hey",i said."Hey",she replied."How are you?"i asked,and came the reply
through the raging wind,"Im happy,niamh" followed by a smile."Well then
so am i" i managed to say.The wind ceased and the sea froze.No more
sound of breaking waves,no more seagulls crying."Ill see you" she said
and hopped off the rock.In my mind i said "bye" but it never came
out.
The bell in the church chimed.It was over.
