i am awake


Ruby and Tommy March 2022

i am awake

early again

and it’s ok

its what I do

and it’s just for now

while my world is

upside down

i seek balance

as libras do


i am awake

and sad

in part for i miss a little cat

who has died

and I think her death

means something

her life certainly

meant something


my young son cried

only just last night

cried for realizing she is gone

but only (I assured him)

gone from this mortal plane


he cried wanting her back now

and i held him

and told him

i miss her too and it’s ok

to cry

is to love

ruby is free

and my son and i

love her


and i love him so

he just shifted closer to me

in his sleep

i listen to his breathing

it is life and

i feel balance


and balance has a way

of finding itself doesn’t it

i think and so

i will go with the flow

when

I am wake

early again


Tommy and Ruby September 2015
