Deep, Still Darkness

Wrap me in your starry darkness. Let me forget the pain. The moon? Please be my encompassing, flannel blanket. Only the sound of my cat’s breath, I now hear.. Immerse me in her rhythmic, purring serenity. Like God, she is always here to listen. Sometimes, I feel in no man’s land. Friends disappear with excuses aplenty. How does that make me feel? Like a car, trying to accelerate on empty! Radiant sky, dappled with a River of stars. Shine on your daughter, enraptured. Listening to your twinkling from afar. 2/2/2023

Lovely comforting images to go with the frankness of reality. We all ride on the rollercoaster of emotions at times during our lives. Peace be with you dear poet. Bill

It’s funny, friend Bill, I forget most of my writes. Who would’ve. Most of my early ones were longer. I will leave that to the younger folks)); Found some very cool forms… PS PRayers to you and your Sara.))) My cousin fell in the grocery store amd fractured her pelvis….no more dancing like Elvis.

"Only the sound of my cat’s breath, I now hear.. Immerse me in her rhythmic, purring serenity." Great imagery! For sure, a volume of love in an unwavering purr.
