how the old woman
no longer greets the sunrise
since her husband’s death

    This haiku touched me deep, I saw immediately my granddad before my eyes, he didn’t enjoy the days anymore when grandmam died. No happy sunrises for him anymore. Within in year my granddad followed his wife into the grave.

    I have known so many of these women – the loneliness overwhelms them! So much sadness.

    When tragedy strikes, somehow how the light fades within long before the light dims outside! And love the scudding cloud shapes! A very moving post!

    Gosh, I just wrote about death and its impact too. Feel the heavy sadness in your words.

    This is so sad … lack of companionship and love can truly make a person lonely!!!
