Deep Pool

Diving into this pool of sadness has

left me without clear vision.

Blinking though mustered murk

I’ve been blinded

Allow me, please to explore the avenues of 

this pool alone. 

My heart tightens like a petrified rock 

Sinking to the depths, sinking …. 

Refusing to let go the grief 

breath becomes thin 

desperately pushing back tears only ever

encouraged by me.

Is it the pain of sorrow 

I fight? 

Tell me, how do I make friends 

With this emotion who enjoys sucking the 

spirit right out of my veins?

In a world built on emotion 

allow me please to filter my way back 

to all encompassing love

where understanding is the tripping point 

….and my heart shall once again know flight.

I think my cat's going to die in ten years.

I am curious as to why you would say this. I mean, mine probably will, too; he's nearly nine now, but I don't want to think about him dying. I want those ten or so years to be full of love, hugs, catnip, and treats. You have, you say, ten years with your cat. Treasure and enjoy them!

Perhaps, at such times, do we look back at how we were, whole and happy as we were, before it all began...? That shore where it was just us, where the sun shone and the wind whistled just for us. And take a deep breath and swim strongly towards it...back to us?
