Write a poem about a routine or ritual that is part of your life. It can be something like making coffee every morning, or something like attending religious services once a week.
Pet the cat at bedtime
No matter when it be
Lay flat upon the mattress
With upward faced belly
Call your family on the phone
And feel your stress climb
And the he will start purring
Affectionate and divine
Give him lots of love now
Scritchies and the snuggles
Ear crunches gently smoosh his brain
And let you give him huggles
And when you’re done drift off
To a deep deep sleep
As he purrs you into bliss now
Your dreams are his to keep
The love of a pet. So simple but so amazing and powerful. They offer us all their heart and care. Offering them our dreams is an appropriate response. Love the humble simplicity of something so life giving as a cat purring on one’s belly. Beautiful image.
