This will be a trilogy, I dont mean to make these always riddles, but I will most likely explain these poems via the blog when all are posted. However, feel free take a guess until then!

The day she was stolen The skies turned black Locust ate at our very souls In the name of God I shout why? The flowers of Hendon Surround a black tombstone How fitting That as I see the blackness of that day in stone The flowers around joyously sing to me Bismillah Our Sweetheart Sings

here is my guess -- 786 is the total value of the letters of Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. Some use this number to refer to Allah. Your words of abduction and sorrow cry loudly to a seemly quiet God but with creation singing softly to our souls It pays to read the previous comments!!

oh and “786”, is the numerical translation of Bismillah, which Arabic basically means "in the name of God"

I always seems to miss answering some comments, thanks Broken Wings, she was a famous Pakistani singer who passed away from cancer.

The poem is intriguing and David's comment adds to the Intrigue. She is or was a pretty young lady. I will follow your trilogy.

OK, here is my guess -- 786 is the total value of the letters of Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. Some use this number to refer to Allah. Your words of abduction and sorrow cry loudly to a seemly quiet God but with creation singing softly to our souls. Well, I said it was a guess!! Look forward to the rest and your blog.
