It Was Only a Moment
My old cat passed a couple days ago.
I thought I was prepared but I guess that wasn't so..
Sixteen years we'd been together, thru many a storm
we both did weather..
Joshua was my brown tiger brother.
He was warm and cuddling and we nutured each other..
It hit me hard once back at home.
I broke down sobbing once left alone..
I'm not a crier. This experience is rare. The loss was
overwhelming and filled me with despair..
My grief swelled up and flooded out.
I was a human water spout..
In the midst of all my woe came my mother who
passed away thirty years ago.
I heard her voice as transparent as glass. The sweet
comfort she brought will always last..
It was only a moment that our worlds collided
but with her loving presence my grief subsided..
