Beliefs of a Widow

Her husband died twenty years ago.
She’s never gotten over her grief.
She is seventy now and alone.
They never had any children.
She believes his spirit is with her
and watches over in the afterlife.
She has imaginary conversations
with him in her mind everyday.
Some people might think
the loss made her delusional,
but I think she’s probably right
in believing her husband still
watches over her and hears
everything she says to him.

Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri? 79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA. Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional. I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more.
