"Men say they know many things;<br /> But lo! they have taken wings, —<br /> The arts and sciences,<br /> And a thousand appliances;<br /> The wind that blows<br /> Is all that any body knows."



It’s been near nine months

My bed made; sheets still untouched

No one can sleep since


The author's comments:

 I normally write in free form to fully be able to capture how I feel without restrictions. This Haiku helped me express some mental stress that I have been unable to capture on paper because of the concise nature of the form. I use one semicolon to call on the semicolon's meaning in relation to suicide. For anyone finding new beginnings from loss. More will come as sort of a series.
