What Fate May Bring
I haven't posted anything here in forever! Has it been over a year? Really? I'm feeling the need to come back here, yet I don't know what to say. There's been so much happening that I don't even know where to begin.
Last year I was faced with a very difficult decision. Maybe not so difficult for some people, but for me it was devastating. I'm an animal lover, and definitely a cat person. I had 3 cats, 2 females and a male. Then one of my females got busy with the male and..... kittens. Four of them. Cute as could be. The management of my apartment building found out about all the cats, and they said I had to get rid of them. First they said that I had to get rid of all of them. Then they relented and said I could keep one.
One. How could I choose. I loved (and still love) them all dearly. It took me a long time to finally decide. I chose Evie, the female who did NOT have the kittens. She'd never done anything to cause any troubles.
Some of you may think it extremely strange to write a poem about a cat, but writing poetry has always been therapeutic for me. And I wrote this poem about Evie during the time I was making my decision. I think maybe this was what made the decision for me.
What Fate May Bring
My emotions stand in Limbo
as your precious face haunts my vision,
Your innocent eyes staring back at me,
Oblivious as to what Fate may bring.
And I...
Unable to explain my torment...
No words can make you understand my pain.
My heart aches as I look into your eyes,
Waiting helplessly for Fate
to pronounce our Destiny,
Knowing that you could be forever
left wondering why we had to say
Good-bye.
