Lost cat

 

Lost cat,

Out there somewhere, very small,

I wonder if it will survive

This large world at all

 

Lost cat,

Missed, now that it’s not here,

Honestly, I never cared

Yet I say now a prayer

 

Lost cat,

Reminded by clouds of billowing grey,

Would I care if the sun was up,

Instead of this rainy day?

 

Lost cat,

In absence, gives purpose in grief,

I somehow feel it won’t be back

Acceptance now, not disbelief

 

Lost cat,

I will keep seeking – the distant call.

Back to myself perhaps,

For I never had a cat all …
