To My Lost Cat - From a Bereaving Friend

The gloomy day extended into two Still I am wondering where you are. Am I the lonely one, a fish out of water If only you had stayed a little longer Me thought we were meant to be together Sweet nymph, you were more like a brother While my mind thinks of the worst The anguished heart hopes for the best Still holding on to the cherished memories Have you taken abode with the good fairies? A feeling of loss – will you ever come back? Hassle yet tender, you have left behind a mark. I bid thee well noble comrade, farewell With a hope that the other home is swell May be on someday we shall meet In the new world that is calm and neat Holding you tight I smooch your fur Safe in my arms, you will gently purr. [This poem is dedicated to my lost cat, named Pinky]
