Cleo - my cat


Cleo.
I cannot speak, pain blocks up every breath
Sorrow fills my bones and makes them feel
like lead.
I cannot speak my words are drowned in tears
so I must write them down for you instead.

I stood between you and the world, keeping you safe.
I cared for you as all your years unfurled.
I could not stop the clock, but nor did I want to, your time had come.
I held you, and whispered softly to you as went ahead.


Your brother Oz is waiting if I listen hard I can hear him call you;
“Come on sis, there are clouds to ride, angel feathers to chase and okay - yes I’ve missed you too.”

So please don’t ask me how I feel, my kindly friends, my heart is full of tears, my voice is weak for Cleo's gone; and I am alone...or am I?
For in my dreams ginger & white, white & ginger, curl up together around me, as it should be.

And I smile.

Re: Cleo - my cat


Karen, you pain is so evident yet you are still thinking of Cleo's (and Oscar's) freedom. Bless you for that.

That is beautiful, honest and I do feel honoured to share your closest thoughts of your darling cats.
