 Sita "Bobies" Bobita 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

Eureka...I've found you again. I love your stories but couldn't remember your name until I came across it by chance hunting for something else. I am so glad you're still here and writing. Thank so much. I love your work! Leave a Reply. |
