Let's Save Her

She looked like a flower,

So beautiful and so pure,

She smelt like rain,

So refreshing and new,

She sounded like cuckoo,

So pleasant and melodious,

But within a blink of eye,

She was all gone.

Who was she?

I often wondered.

Sometimes she hid behind trees,

Sometimes she swam in the rivers,

Sometimes she even flew with the birds,

But never did she last more than a minute.

Was she a dream?

Or an illusion, 

I often wondered.

Then someday I heard her crying,

At the railing of a bridge,

She was about to give up her life.

I caught hold of her,

Her skin felt like it was slowly dispersing,

I got scared.

She looked ragged and dirty,

And smelt of burnt trees,

I asked her what had happened.

She looked at me slowly,

And whispered,

"Save me, I am dying..."

And then she was gone.

Never could I ever see her again.

Just kept wondering,

Who she was.
