Thanks for contributing to the thread!

Oh, I have bunches and BUNCHES! Some are rather adult...musings to myself, but a lot of them I can certainly share
Blue Moon
Come run with me,
Come with me now past the Fields that we Know
Into uncharted places.
Come run with me,
Out where the forest of Yesterday meets
The trees of our Tomorrows.
The moon is blue and full and round,
Come run with me,
Through meadows star-scattered
Where streams reflect that shattered Moon
Like the broken glass of our Sorrow…
Come run with me,
Come laugh with me,
Come fall in deep green grass with me.
What do we care where the Summer goes,
When we know we are Forever.
Blue Moon
There’s a full Blue Moon in the sky tonightCome run with me,
Come with me now past the Fields that we Know
Into uncharted places.
Come run with me,
Out where the forest of Yesterday meets
The trees of our Tomorrows.
The moon is blue and full and round,
Come run with me,
Through meadows star-scattered
Where streams reflect that shattered Moon
Like the broken glass of our Sorrow…
Come run with me,
Come laugh with me,
Come fall in deep green grass with me.
What do we care where the Summer goes,
When we know we are Forever.

Buddy, such a brat
He wants salmon today, sir
Dinner is served
Human must not text
For now is the hour of play
Fetch my wand toy please
Sunrise, I want yums
Should I let human sleep in?
Time to rise, servant!
Cat is Lord Grantham
Human is Butler Carson
Downton is like home

Human cannot see us hide
Boxes are awesome

Here's an old one, as you can see from the date!
December 4, 1992
Take my Hand
My love for you is like
Passion on a moonlit night.
When you smile, your eyes sparkle
Like starlight.
My heart will never let you go,
I love you more than the angels know.
Like butterflies dancing in
The sun’
Take My Hand
Our love dear one,
Has only begun.
So take my hand, and walk with me,
Together my love through eternity.

The last one is just great, I really did laugh at the last line. I love it!

How odd...
To feel your hand
brush my hair just so...
drift across my back
light as a breeze
To smell your scent
so uniquely yours
musky in my nose
like nightflowers
To know you gone
and miles away
but holding me in your mind
so strongly
I am obscurely comforted

That's a good one too. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
Just a little FYI, I may be coming down w/ something, so if I'm not responding, I did. I pray not though! I can't afford to miss the nxt 2 days of work! Or any for that matter!
Woke up w/ a headache, had it ALL day, despite ibuprofen, & even muscle relaxer! A tiny bit achey too. [emoji]128533[/emoji]

Poor Baby, poor!" baby, poor baby. Getting sick is definitely a "three-er!"

Thanks, but fortunately, I didn't. Thank God!! I don't know what all that was! I even had a small temp of 99.6. I woke up feeling better. No headache. I made sure to take 2 olive leaf caps & ibuprofen before bed.
I had also taken my last two teaspoons of colloidal silver earlier. That's what I do when I feel something coming on. I tackel it with ALL I have, probiotics included, & that usually nips it in the bud early enough, or it doesn't last long. Also picked up some emergen-C pkts to put in my water.
Hit the snooze button for about 30 minutes this morning though.
I had one of my bigger houses to clean today. One of the historical ones downtown. I did OK, but I am tired. I am so ready for the weekend! One more day of work, then I am resting!! Of course I need to get laundry done at some point. maybe Sunday... It's supposed to get really cold here & we are to have a mix of rain & possibly snow, only an inch, if it sticks. So good relax inside weather! Sammy will not like having to stay in though, if that's the case. ...Better get out the calming treats, though they barely work on her. will have to give her more playtime to distract her, if I can peel her away from the door. LOL!

OK, guys, I wrote a new one last night....in the middle of the night. (thanks to miss Sammy waking me up at 4:00! .....little stinker!) Earlier in the evening I was watching a show I watch that had come back on for the season. "The Fosters." It's on the Free Form chnl, which used to be The Family Chnl. Anyway, I used to sing the intro song to Angel (since it was about adoption..being "where you belong..")
& I hadn't heard it in a long time, since the show was on break. Well, I started singing along, & broke down into tears not one verse in! Sammy was lying on the floor, & looked up at me like "What's wrong mom?"
I was fine, but it just really hit me, along with the first anniversary of him being gone coming up this Sunday, the 5th.
I was fine writing the poem, not sad or anything, but it just started coming out, so I started writing. About an hour later, it was done.
Here it is......
It's been one Year
I can hardly believe it's been one year since you've been gone.
As painful as it was, life moved on.
Day by day, is how I got through,
Looking at your picture, and sometimes talking to you.
I wonder if maybe, you talk to me too.
Like when Sammy first came along, I think you helped send her to me,
To help heal my heart from the pain and misery.
Most of the sadness, time, and she did help heal,
But when I tell your story, the pain is still so real.
Missing you is something from which my heart will never completely mend,
Until that one day, we are united yet again.
That is when we will cross the Rainbow Bridge together,
Until then, my sweet boy, our hearts will always be tethered.

"Cat is Lord Grantham"
With my Sarah, it would be, "Cat is Her Royal Highness."
She would say, "Mother knows her place -- to serve me, and my little brother." That's Eric, who patrols his house as King Eric.

I wrote this back about 2006. The person it was written for is no longer in my life on a daily basis, but the healing he did stays with me, and we remain dear, dear friends.
Where nothing is ever what it seems
Wandered, lost, in my own mind
Hiding from a world unkind
In the dark with you
I have no name
In the dark with you
I feel no shame
In the dark with you
Close by my side
In the dark with you
There’s no need to hide
I’ll never know quite what you did,
I can’t recall the words you said
I only know this life is new
Full of majik, music, you
In the dark with you
I have no name
In the dark with you
I feel no shame
In the dark with you
Close by my side
In the dark with you
There’s no need to hide
I’m done with hiding, done with doubt
What lives within now shows without
I’ll walk with you, right by your side,
Walk in the sun, and never hide.
In the dark with you
I have no name
In the dark with you
I feel no shame
In the dark with you
Close by my side
In the dark with you
There’s no need to hide
In The Dark
I’ve lived my life in mostly dreamsWhere nothing is ever what it seems
Wandered, lost, in my own mind
Hiding from a world unkind
In the dark with you
I have no name
In the dark with you
I feel no shame
In the dark with you
Close by my side

Here are the flowers I got at trader Joe's yesterday, in memory of Angel. Can't believe it's been a whole year!
What a beautiful little shrine to a very special cat! Those flowers are lovely. I do wish we had a Trader Joe's near us!

Thank you. Yes, that is the place to go for flowers for sure!
Good selection, & cheap! The roses were only 3.99 for 8 stems, & the stock was 2.99/bunch, got two of those, so was less than 12.00 for all of them!! Can't beat that anywhere!

Wet food now, human
Today I prefer chicken
Tomorrow serve beef
In front of your screen
Is my newest spot today
Give me attention
Do not pet me now
Affection is something that
Happens when I say
Crisis! Bathroom door
Is closed, panic starting
Open the door now!
I am the Fresh Prince
You are the butler Geoffrey
Clean my poop now, sir
My territory
No other cats allowed
This is Buddy's realm
I want some new toys
Da Bird and mouses to hunt
Go to store now, human
