morning lies less clearly
than mourning should allow
crystal shatters easily
its clarity somehow
in whiter disolution
as rime burns into mist
memories of yesterdays
of other women kissed
ghostly gargoyle hovers
in symbiotic flight
illusionary lovers
reap silence in delight
yet within those shadows
while dawning fades to grey
the finality of sorrows
lets mourning pass away

Damn, what an excellent piece of writing this is. I guess when you look at the picture, it can bring on that feleing of mourning but at the same time it gets washed away by the beauty that follws. I loved this heaps. A short piece but precise and quite charming. I wish you the very best in the contest.
