Found a safe place in our home.
After a coyote took her partner.
We fell in love with her.
Wild sweet Feline.
Fascinating eyes.
Aware of everything.
Walks gracefully;
unless some dog is chasing her.
Loves the woods,
Climb trees,
Jumps from the roof,
Free adventurer…
Moody, like a good female.
Asks for love when she wants.
Comes and goes as she please.
Independent but unafraid to ask.
We weren’t cat people.
She wrapped us with her magic.
Day by day gains ground.
The new princess of the house.
Reports…
cold facts on paper
Truth
unto itself
The World
to judge in concert
One man
much deeper felt
(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)
~ There is but one ultimate truth,
and it is simply and precisely this -
there will always be questions ...
there will NOT always be ... answers. ~
Grandiose and golden,
Shyly peeking above the clouds
I regard you in awe
But you stare back so cold
I personify your beauty
Though you aren't made of flesh
For you are simply a stone
Which floats in the abyss
I FALL TO MY KNEES ASKING PAPA DIOS TO KEEP MI FAMILIA SAFE FROM
THE FAKE SMILES THAT GO CON LA BRISA ITS NOT EASY
RUNNING TOSE LA PUERTA INSIDE OUT FOCUSING ON THE PREMIO AHEAD OF THE PACK OF WOLVES IN STRIGHT UP WOOL CLOTHING MI META IS STRIGHT AHEAD NOT LOOKING PARA TRAS SOME MAY PULL YOU TO PERDER
LA PACIENCIA AND LOSE CONTROL OF WHAT KEEPS YOU SANE ENOUGH IS PARTE OF A FIGHTING PEACE OF FRAME OF MIND KEEP MINE PRAYED UP CON LA BENDISION OF OUR FATHER ABOVE I FLY SOLA MIGHT SAY HOLA BUT KEEPING IT MOVING CON LA FRENTE HIGH WHILE COLLECTING WOUNDS THAT HOPE TO DOME MI ESPIRITU BUT HE THAT SEES ME LEBANTARA ALWAYS ITS BEEN THAT WAY FROM THE PRINCIPIO I JUST DID NOT KNOW HE HAS BEEN AN MI LADO FROM THE START AND WILL REMAIN HE NEVER FORSAKES WE DO FALLING SHORT OF THE GLORIA OF DIOS BY ALL MEANS NOT PERFECTA BUT A WORKING IN PROGRESS I FLY SOLA FOR NOW TILL HIS RETURN AMEN
