HAIBUN


How Am I Doing? 

 

I pass the hours with cooking, cleaning, shopping. On most days. I read, write, paint. On Most days. I go out for coffee, for lunch or dinner. On Most days. I fight this sadness that comes with living without him. On most days. 

 

a friend shows kindness

and sympathy

and hears my problems;

suddenly, I shed the tears

I didn’t know I was holding

Its is hard losing a love partner. And everyone grieves in their own time. Its good to have friends who understand.
