Fall and birds
all friends scattered
her phone calls say all is fine.
Old mother
still cares as always
Dark sky but no hint of rain.
Star reader
warns me of deceit
she is worried about me.
So much work
I have to attend
my faith in God sustains me.
From childhood
Life has been like this
except for some happy times.
My beloved
is not beside me
so the load is heavier.
I love rains
as they are tidings
of mercy from the Greatest*.
Lovelier
all this would have been
if my beloved one were here.
She is joy
kindness and hope
with her lies my happiness.
