Poem -
The Stone Path/ Of Gods + Cats
The cat cries,
wanting something
But not from me
I cannot touch it
It will not be touched
Savage cat... ferral,
Accepting food but not my love
Or shelter
It cries its sorrow...sitting on the
stone path
Seeking someone, searching
But not for me
Not me
The cat cries,
Accepting food with accusing
eyes
Baleful thing...savage
Refusing me
Wanting me
Rejecting me
Expecting me
To save it from its fear
But I am fearful too
I ask the cat
What do you need me to do
How can I make you my
friend
But she does not answer
So I am alone again with my
worries
Sitting on the stone path while
the cat cries,
Searching something, seeking
Failing

Thanks Tony x
This is not just about a stray cat now is it .. I sense something much deeper if not profound .. maybe its more about feeling lost, empty and hopeless, quite possibly about acceptance and of feeling empty and rejected ... Maybe I should just remove my clinical hat, quit while the going is still good and shut up .. N x
All that and more...hugs x
am glad I finally found out what the star shaped vote thingy is all about .. it makes one feel ................................................................. x
Ha ha...lol...it took me three months and a kick up the poetic arse to realise also...thankyou for the much needed giggle. I am now off to bed because... my life is like that...upside down and back to front...hugs x
stand down and rest easy .. x
