<sub>The spring has finally come and everything is fresh, new and beautiful. All but one place, where the air is ever cool and still and no season is allowed in.

Our lady fell asleep when her husband went away to war. Neither of them has returned and so we keep her in Cherry Hall. She loved this cherry tree when she was younger. We thought she would like to see it when she is finally awake.

But springs have come and gone, summers have tried to warm her and autumns whisper their rustling songs. Only winters have some effect on her. She gets colder.

We hope she will melt one day.</sub>

Dedicated to Liisi (~Kassipreili), my best friend and good poet. You really should read some of her poems. I thought she might like this picture.

Yes, the lady is indeed changing into smoke in the edges. I thought it looked nice.

I got the idea from `Mithgariel saying that I had made a picture about autumn (A Secret Garden) and winter (Lady). Then I saw the model. Then I just searched around until the picture came to me.

I finally have my hands on my own computer, where I can manip and write literature and such things. Beware of the flood of manips and poetry.
Comments and critique are appreciated.
