The Widower and Wife: LIND30 Tear stained pillow dries in dawns light, with his eyes wide-opened with delight, an aliferous butterfly color-filled wingspan, a smile had donned on a well informal man, [LIND30WCR] An egg fries and a toast buttered, Mid-morning in the field, he stands, The window curtain flaps in the wind, He tipped his lid and toiled all day long. [LIND30WCU] Bathed, tidy up, cooked, eats feast, two placed arrangement, routine, a theme plays he knows by heart, arms bout confirming the dark away, [LIND30SU] The widower goes to bed, turned down and alone he spread, he sleeps on its comforter, and lulls to another night with her.

What a touching portrait you have drawn ! The widower though sad over his loss greets the dawn with cheer, sets out to do his routine chores.......'two placed arrangement, routine, a theme plays he knows by heart, arms bout confirming the dark away", These lines tug at the heart strings. He still believes she is with him.... (Am I misreading? I am incapable of extricating poems of profundity... I can write only simple poems.)

'Twas necessary my reply was swift, for your instincts betray you naught and indeed served you well, Valsa, wondrously surmised and I'm well-pleased with your measures you've undertaken to achieve a better understanding, and I'm certain others will find your comments to be their reward my friend, Aloha!
