I was going to call this, "A Moment With My Cat" but I think the revised title adds so much more information about the meaning of the piece.
A brief but deep connection
As we lock eyes across the room
And I have a sense of pain
I feel the saddest surrender
To what life does to you
Over the incessantness of time
I watch as she so slowly settles
Muscles not so lithe in age
But wide eyes still locked with mine
Somehow it is a shared moment
Perhaps a camaraderie that we share
Age borne aches give the same knowing
There is nothing souls can do
But live out the gift of time
The Universe has lovingly bestowed
Different species but each enduring
Living in the same time and space
And having some symbiotic purpose
That is the perplexity of life
