What It That I See

What is it that I see? Out of the corner of my eye A fleeting shadow Is it real? A glimpse into another universe? Imagination? I think I saw my cat She died some years ago. Can I reach across? Could I, can I stay? How wonderful if so No need to grieve Our lost ones are still there, In the multiverse. Some other parallel scheme. Can I reach my long lost baby sister? I never knew her She died before her birth So sad. I didn’t even know that she was there On my Mother’s death I found her In her papers. Her name was Lindy And I’ve always wanted a sister What is it that I see? Out of the corner of my eye A fleeting shadow If only this was real I could reach my long lost baby sister
