You chose your path
Away from my arms
The world is tough
The nights are cold
The storms are thundery loud
Mornings are now quiet
No repeated sounds of me brushing teeth
No morning greetings and whistles
Nor non-sensical chatters and screams
2 years have passed and the house still feels empty
The new peace is still awkwardly stale
Even The karang guni man asking
Where is that bird who keeps calling?
I pray daily
For God to guard your path
and be into His Loving Arms
