Requiem for a Feline

When I lost two of my furry family within the space of a few days, I was heartbroken. I took my pain and did what I usually do--I poured it into words on a page. It came out as a poem and after wrestling with myself a bit, I have decided it would only be right to honor them and share this with you.






Requiem for a Feline


Love, we are told is warmth
The sun on our face
A soft body beside us
The gentle touch of another life
Love is light, life-giving
Filling every moment of the day

What then when the warm body
Lies cold against my chest?
Silent beside me
No warmth, no light
No life

Shards of my heart break off
Like glass, cutting as they fall
Tearing deep marks in my soul
Until bleed

Tiny warmth, soft, gentle
Alive
Gone now into the cold
Is there sun there?
I tell myself there is
This is just a step on a greater path
Perhaps

That does not change the cold
The stiff body that was warm
The playful glint of an eye
Comfort when I cried
So playful, bringing joy
Gone now
Stiff
Cold
And I bleed

    I have been a writing all my life and have been published in newspapers, magazines and books. Recently, I have started working with writers helping them to learn to love their writing, and how we, as writers can learn from musicians and their techniques.
