HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 I arrive to live in Asia.

After ‘Hello’, these words pierce my heart:

“Are you alone?”

“Where’s your husband?”

I rapidly spiral into the dangerous dark depths of existential frenzy.

“Who am I?”

I  just left my country.

I’m all   a    lone

I have no county, no home, no car, no cat, no family.

 

And   where  is my husband?

Who will find me when I fall dead on the kitchen floor?

I wrestle with these questions  until Love’s Light wins.

“Are you alone?”

“No. I’m with you.”

“Where’s  your husband?”

“I don’t know! Have you seen him?”

“Are you alone?”

“No. I’m with Me, Myself, and I.

“Are you alone?”

“No.

 IAM   All ONE

(Sung, in a blues style yet upbeat)

]Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to me

Everyday we are born

Everyday we are free

Yeaahya
