Three Cats And A Go-Between.

The gentle pad of approaching paws

And Ashton enters in.

Just for a second, close by his side

Another's form I see.

The hands of death release their grip

To briefly, bring a lost one home.

 

He seems to be a go-between,

From this world to the next.

And each of them will take their turn

To appear somewhere for me.

 

I know not where I'll see them,

Or when they will arrive.

But I can see them, clear as clear

And always at his side.

The shadowed mists between our worlds

We cannot truly see.

So many things to us unknown-

Bring happiness to me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

At various times and in different places in my house, my cat Ashton will bring with him one of my previous, and much loved cats, I can clearly see which of the three cats it is. So it's not a shadow or reflection. I only have a second or so with them but its long enough to speak to them.

Thank you, been wanting to

Thank you, been wanting to write about this for a while, then it just arrived in my head. It annoys me when people say there's no such thing as spirits or ghosts, some of us are 'tuned in' and others arn't , that's all there is to it. I'm glad your cat still visits you. X. I'm hoping all my animals are waiting for me over that bridge. :-) X
