Not Just Another Haiku

She had come to know him as her hero. They met on a cloudy day as sunlight tried filtering softly through the pine trees that surrounded her mountain home, casting charcoal shadows on her swimming pool. She rented her home to him with joy as she moved her last boxes into her compact car. She was happy to be moving in with her beloved boyfriend thirty miles across town. it rained hard that May presage of future events... black clouds lingered low The first few days were blissful as his young sons adored her and even began calling her Mama. Two and four, precious little red heads. But to her heartbreaking dismay he was not ready to move on with anyone, and had issues she could not help heal. He demanded she leave with no where to go. a cloud burst poured down in torrential tears and storm... divine light appeared She returned to her home and prayed her tenant would understand. He was upset at first fearing he would be given notice to move. She only asked to move into the one room pool house to keep from being homeless. With tears streaming down her cheeks and a broken heart she related her story as he listened with empathetic ears. roses bloomed in the fresh fragrant flower garden... hope bloomed too that day July 13, 2017
