 You Have Not Lost Me ...

"I lay on your bed last night...
I came to have a peep."
"I saw that you'd been crying...
and found it hard to sleep."
"I purred to you so softly...
as you brushed away a tear."
"It's me! I haven't left you...
I'm well! I'm fine! I'm here!"
"I was close to you at breakfast...
I watched you pour your tea."
"I saw you thinking of the times...
you reached down touching me."
"I was with you at my grave today...
as you tended it with such care."
"I wanted to reassure you friend...
I'm no longer lying there!"
"I walked you towards the house...
And sat with you under the tree.
"I gently put my paw on you...
I smiled and said, 'it's me'!"
"You looked so very tired...
As you sank down in your chair."
"I tried so hard to let you know...
that I was still sitting there."
"It's just so wonderful for me...
to be so close to you."
"To tell you that I'm Here...
"Please don't be so blue!"
"You sat so quietly; then smiled...
I think you finally knew!"
"That in the stillness of this evening...
I was so very close to you."
"And when the time is right...
to cross this brief divide."
"I'll rush across to meet you...
we'll stand there side by side."
"I have many things to show you...
There's so much for you to see!"
"Be patient and live your journey...
then come home to be with me."

 Moon is a red dot churning passion.

The life sways with the trees.
Out of the quiescent lake comes the devil.
A world that takes on a different shine.
The person and the phases of life
mingle and sink
to the bottom of the lake.
Comes a dry, waterless abyss.
The devil demands the soul
in barter for life.
The torchbearer hides the torch.
I open my eyes.
Terror and awe,
Take on a different shine.
A strangeness, an alienation,
yet something compelling
In the wild desire.
The red moon
Is red but knows
On one such night
you have to follow the path
of the wind and the fire.
