Description
“Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.”
The aged male stared down at his reflection and felt fresh tears well up in his eyes. Never did he look into the water and see himself reflected, and if he had he would never care to look there. In the clear waters of the forest, he could see only her.
The gentle face of Alvah that he knew and loved stared back at him, but it wasn't her kindness that he remembered first...
Vidar, no matter how hard he tries, can’t shake the memory of his sister, Alvah, from his mind even years after her death. His eyes deceive him due to his age and he’ll occasionally catch glimpses of her in his own reflection.
Some literature will come soon to accompany this to explain what he first remembers ;3

This composition is so cool, and the concept in general... ugh that's so sad poor Vidar seeing his sister everywhere :C I love the atmosphere of this in general, it really captures the haunting memories.
