For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Animals ~ Furry Caretaker ~





no desire to roll

or prance

contentment replete

in form and fur

silent breath

silent purr

guarding the door

on barren floor

profound faith

defying death_

my love have seen

no desire for more,

to heaven I’ve been

back with orders

to guard a spirit 

with the invisible

screen

I love that you were sent back to guard the spirit of the cat. Lovely poem.

It's that simple--and this profound:
"silent breath
silent purr
guarding the door"
We may not be furry, but we are adopted caretakers and care-takees.

Very touching, a lovely poem.

A furry caretaker....in so many ways they are. This is lovely Anjum!

I thought it was the cat sent back to guard the spirit of a loved human.
