THE CAT'S HOMECOMING

     Spoon-fed insecurities
courtesy of family
that of course, mean well
can often 
end up
in more misery
then one deserves

     In the midst of a forest
burdened and doused 
with 
ill advice
was a little voice
a guide, telling me
to keep my faith
to follow my instincts
to follow my heart
but insecurities were louder
and I was in doubt
I was in sadness
yet in wonder
for that little voice
that guide
still spoke in the back of my mind
like a small minority
with a loudspeaker
it's voiced muffled
but still heard
faintly
in the distance

     But then ....A phone call...
A beau-ti-ful phone call
making me dumbfounded
speechless, and then...
and then....
and then filled me with such great adrenalin and ecstasy
beyond my wildest
fantasies and wishes and dreams...
and renewed my faith
that never completely died
yes, renewed my faith
in you

     Welcome home
my most 
beau-ti-ful 
cat
Yes, welcome home
even though
you never
left
