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
