Challenge: Three Line Tales by Sonya
In this long winter night,
Bask while lasts this warmth, this light,
And then, surrender restfully to the silent dark winter night!

Life and Death – lying side by side.
I see two bodies
Lying side by side,
Identical in form and appearance.
What is surprising is
That they look just like me.
So, now we are three of us here!
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”
In this funeral pyre,
Through the space between the logs
That I have been placed within,
I see the faces
Of people known to me.
Their faces made visible
In this dark new moon night,
By the fire’s light.
The fire that is glorious,
Whose flames have now reached
Quite a height.
My body is burning intensely,
Like would a fuel.
‘You’
Before “it”,
You were in your world,
And were fine,
At least because, you were in it.
Till “it” ,
I was in mine and fine in it.
There has been,
No thought about you,
No contact,
Since our last meet,
And, we met only a few times,
Before that meet.
Then, “it” took place.
“Next, Please” – By Philip Larkin
