In A Frozen Land

 
"Love is eternal, it never dies, it is forever. . . "

                                               Quote by _ Constance


And in my dream I am walking in a frozen land
there is white snow in every direction pure and unflawed
the temperature is way below freezing
the wind is howling    my feet crunch   but, I feel nothing
for I am frozen and empty inside   I have been since the day my kitty
went over Rainbow Bridge then, I notice tiny paw prints in the snow
and follow them for some time only to find my beloved kitty in the snow
I start running to her but she is dead a perfect curled up cat carved statue
then, a hand comes down from the sky and picks her lifeless body up
and she lay in God's hand still until suddenly she is moving her fur blowing
her bushy tail swishing    her sweet meows echoing 
oh, my tears are falling and freezing on my cheeks
God lifts her up to his heart and kisses her head
he smiles at me with great love and it is like the sun has come out
and I know that my kitty will be fine in Heaven protected for infinity
and I am weeping when kitty turns to me  and lifts her paw in farewell
her eyes are beautiful, bright and glowing
and I hear God's voice speaking to me your kitty will be loved in Heaven
and will be waiting at Heavens golden gate dear one
when your time on earth is finished do not weep . . . do not grief
you gave your kitty the ultimate gift of love you set her free from suffering
and just like that . . . they fade away
and I am in my bed and it is morning . . . 
I smile to myself for it is time, yes time 
to turn the page . . . to end this chapter
