.
His massive head reposed
his hooded eyes watching me
as if to question my anxious
concern
why do I fret?
16.
.
Lingering
end to doubt
a subtle reassurance
that though I am only human and frail
he’ll protect
me.
17.
.
A
lion’s heart that’s true
beats within his narrow chest
and paws that catch the mouse in his sleep
march
into May.
18.
.
A thought rests quietly
the stately weight in my lap
arrogantly demanding in
my space
a personal best.
19.
.
Physiologically,
Technologically
challenged
yet I find myself envying my cat
his calm distain.

.
I
wish I were as sure
of my place in the world
as my little tom cat is within his
sharing a purr.
21.
.
Rain like tear drops seep down
the window pain reflecting
the quiet bundle of coiled
yellow fur
peaceful repose.
22.
.
Why
do I worry so?
When GOD has given me proof
that I too can find new strength day-by-day
watching my cat.
23.
.
A
quiet chorus purred
soft against my tear stained cheek
a rough tongue wash his offer of support
till
I relent.
24.
.
Love is given away
a gift I daily receive
so certain I can take it
for granted
feline sunrise.
25.
.
Memories as a gift
a tunnel I may pass through
takes me to a place first
shared at the Throne
of Him I serve.
26.
.
Stopped, I hear her laughter
I hear her call his new
name
and I wonder if he’ll remember me
from his first home?
27.
Sorrow overtakes me
soft I shut the outer door
the visit I thought to make
abandoned
He’s her cat now.
28.
.
When in doubt I seek Turk
on
the window sill or ledge
in the corners of my mind I find him
the peace I sought.
