“Eyes In The Sky”
Month: August 2024
(But Not Tonight – Depeche Mode)
Where The Heart Is
Being able to care for loved ones is essential.
“A Slice Of Moon Pie”
Holding On
Tectonic plates colliding and sliding make it hard to feel stabilized.
Attending
There is a rightness to tending to that which needs care.
“‘Mixed’ Messaging”
So after shaken, drink the entire contents within a certain short time period. When does one refrigerate? Immediately upon opening? Before drinking? Between sips? After the bottle is empty?
Stabilizing
The name of the game.
Step By Step
Our tiger is back at the specialists.
Sustainability
Is anything sustainable?
Or at best, can we only achieve diminished losses?
There Ought To Be A Law
It is a terrible waste to have to consider “end of life” when the spirit’s spark still burns so bright and limited funds are the knife’s deciding factor.
If Money
If money were abundant, I could get my tiger a pacemaker and my wolf cataract surgery.
I could do procedures to address my silver queen’s liver cancer.
I could get new hind knees for our fawn feline ranger and rehabilitation for our young hound’s hip dyslasia.
(Ghost Of A Chance – Rush)
Hidden Signs
Even as night diminished all traces of hope, she sought in the gloaming signs of guidance.
(Boat Song – Joel Fairstein)
Forked Road
Sometimes, it is necessary to choose the solitary path.
The Struggle
Being unable to adapt and run is being interpreted as lazy, avoidant, and unwillng.
The Blow
How unfair after such valiant, determinedly unwavering struggles to overcome – having made it to higher ground, only to be wounded!
Forlorn
Grief at the loss of ready adaptation and being able to lead the pace for one’s pups – at the same time of their natural differentiating.
I had looked forward to keeping pace with them.
Howl.
Honor
Keeping promises as best possible.
In The Twilight Of Memory
Each One Their Due
It is expensive ensuring health care for pets, just as it is for humans.
The Brace Is Off!
Today will be the first day that I begin trying to function without the hip brace that gave a base of support for my injured spine.
(I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz)
255ml
How much fluid they siphoned from our tiger’s chest.
Healing
Finding answers and putting things to right.
Money
Can alleviate suffering and nourish growth.
In The Wings
Our tiger is getting fluid removed from his chest – the biggest risk being sedation.
Foolish
Or generous?
(Laguna – Gierto)
Holding The Line
I have done it – carried us far, giving time for elements’ growth and rearranging.
(Nothin’ Sweeter – TobyMac)
Right Timing
With division of household as youngest “graduates,” our wolf will be returning to the human she has always loved the most.
A man and his wolf – as “God” intended from the beginning of time, itself.
“How A Forest Expands”
Debbie Downer
Everything is too much to handle right now.
Survivalism
My situation has so many interwoven and expansive complexities.
Dear Alex,
I do not know why, but it comforts me to know that you are out there, somewhere.
Diminished
They said that I would not amount to much.
But then I did – even if now it’s as if I didn’t.
Passing Ships
As one person’s cycle is ending, another’s is just beginning.
(End Of The Line – Traveling Wilburys)
Yip-Yapping
Sometimes, if one treads delicately,
She can be spotted at a safe distance
Playing among flowers and butterflies.
In The Moonlight
I have been honest
Examining myself
As find I’m still
Other worldly.
Woodland Shadow
I shall become one as
Twigs, dirt, and leaves
Weave into furred coat to
Camouflage a heart’s ache.
Dis-Mantleing
It was hard enough to
Find space two carried:
The odds increase with
Only one to hunt/forage.
Hail
Constructs tumble
And gails prevail
Once torn aside
Illusion’s veil.
Ode To My Youngest
The best collaborator who
Dared to believe in me and
Having followed now surpasses
To mastering their own destiny.
A Thief Among Us
Does time thus only tease to
Snatch back promises given?
Self’s Tribute
There there sweet mother
Curled inward by injuries
Whilst silent tears streaming
Tell fate of a soul abandoned –
Weary mind, body, and spirit
Which have led family farther
Than could ever have traveled
Without your wisdom’s instinct.
Empty Den
Howling to the moon only begets more howling, when the young have left for new grounds.
Sustainability
When one leaves one realm and enters into another, there is uncertainty as to which prey to pursue.
