on the longest night

in the darkest corner of the yard –

a bright golden orb pounced forth!

a sun is born!

.

Hope leaps in my heart as i remember

another Orange Cat who purred me to sleep

and whose warmth comforted many in distress.

.

In winter we can remember summer,

in death we remember life,

and in life we remember those who have gone before…

such is the wheel of life.
