Lost

My happy feet tried to catch up with his pace Appetizing smells swirling out of street cafes Chattering crowd bumping in to us in void Almost missing me trying to cross Holding his hand as tight as I could My red shoes almost jingled as I soared the tiled floor Chattering faces coming and go Was this a dream or a nightmare I tried to solve A little wet kitten shivering by the barber’s door I let go off his supporting hand and swiftly dissolve It was too late when I knew I was by my own Looking up and down the street just brought me terror The little kitty and me were both greatly ignored By people rushing to somewhere perhaps more of worth I cried and he meowed a very loud song We cuddled and snuffled as sky changed color and the stars rose The barber closing his shop, noticed us both tossed a penny where we had desperately parked He came closer and I think that’s when he saw We were no beggars but rather much lost My daddy was called in and took me home safe I had a new friend, I called him “Mr. Snuggle” Feb 2, 2016
