My last request.

I had ash in my hands,
Blown away by the wind.
It may have been something.
I had resilience once -
It has withered and died.
No more than the ash
That was scattered by my beliefs.
All the things I forgot to say
Turn into my last request;
And I guess I need you here
To hold these hands of mine.
What a beautiful life
When you smile with me.

A simple request, what if it's the last one! Love is in the air, mingling with the ashes.

Tenderness and pain. I'm awash with the beauty of the poem, while I'm torn by the sadness of the heart.
