I Learn To Live With the Silence

I learn to live with the silence. Thoughts echo in the empty house. I transform your room into my space, place candles and shells on the windowsill. Your books are still on the shelves – old friends who keep me company and speak of you. August 13, 2018

One can see why this poem is so popular so quickly-- it touches the heart simply and truly, and its understated sadness could range from a child leaving home for college to a loved one leaving this life. It's remarkable, Agnes, as a great haiku is in its brevity.
