IN THE DESERTED HOUSE
 

In the deserted house
I find my solitude.
From time to time the noise
from the backyard becomes
a comfort to me.  I
seek out the stars at night
from the deserted house’s
window.  I find the noise
from the backyard.  It is
a small bird who sings in
comforting tones.  It lifts
my spirits to the stars.
