The Inspiring Funeral

The pale clouds covered the whole sky like a spartan holding a shield ready for war. The atmosphere was filled with grief and sorrow. He slowly sat down on the cold-blooded chair. His parents sat right next to him, but no feeling of sympathy or affection came to him. He was disgusted by this kind of feeling. He looked around, and saw nothing but tears. He looked up to his parents, hoping to feel a little better, but all he could see was severed hearts and broken memories; his parents were in tears too. Trees rose straight up into the freezing pale air, and winds slowly blew through the silent crowd breaking the silence for a few seconds. He felt that something important was missing. A black grand piano stood right in the middle of the funeral. He stared strangely at it as if it was a riddle or a puzzle. He had never seen one before in his life. Confusion took over him making him wonder the reason for such a thing to be doing in a funeral. He didn’t understand, and his eyes were stuck onto it. From the freezing uncomfortable air, a giant black trimmed coffin slowly appeared. He watched as people in black clothing held up the coffin. The people moved slowly, and he silently looked at their faces. They all lowered their head, but he knew they were crying because drip of waters were falling off their faces. The freezing wind blew once again causing him to feel extremely unpleasant. Out of the blue, a rhythmic musical sound like the no other sound he before broke through the eternal silence. Right at that moment, his mind clicked. The clouds slowly faded a distance away revealing a clear blue sky. The ray from the sun struck at the piano creating an aura of harmony all around. At that moment, he didn't feel any sadness. Instead, he felt blessed. His wet sleeves began to dry along with the heavy atmosphere that lingered in the air. He didn't know what was happening, but he did realize one thing. He realized that this wasn't a ending of a person's life, but a beginning of something new.
