A Miracle Worker

Dedicated to Star, a rescue cat that I took in, November 2011 (a kitten, at the time)

Sigh.

 

So gently

It escapes your lips

As your body nestles

Against me.

 

Which

Marks the end

Of another day

For us.

 

Where

Your companionship

Is the foundation

That comforts me.

 

During

The moments

My darkness seems

Unbearable.

 

In

Grounding me

In the here and now

Not allowing

My mind to wander

Down dark paths.

 

Teaching me

It is possible

To trust again

After being abused

By other.

 

In

Being

Yourself

Star.
