“They say you can’t have some of one without some of the other, but let me tell you where it’s been lacking for me….”

Extremes
When a person is pushed too far away from their internal balance point, it is best to be cautious with judgement against their reactions.
(Tied To You – Elderbrook)
The Light Within
We all have a spark within us, waiting to be set alight like dry kindling and nurtured into a flame.
It’s Crummy
Like arguing over crumbs, that others can be jealous of one’s slowly developing talent and seek to disrupt, suppress, or injure it.
The Little Things
As a mother and care provider, one knows they must someday let loved ones go – either to fly away as matter, or as spirit.
Four beings have left our pack, and I keep sinking back into survival mode.
The music, audio, and scripts are left undeveloped.
The guitars, bass, and keyboard gather dust on their stands.
Software is paused before loading, as I sort pebbles in the shifting sand.
Trying To Catch Up
As if my spirit is running, when I can’t run.
Being Ok
On and off, repeat.
(Behind Her Eyes – Sultan Shepard)
Natural Instincts
I dreamed of beautiful black, sleek horses in a lush, green, sloping field dotted with tall, gracefully draping trees, and two big draft horses interacting with me, attempting to get me to let them leave their yard – whereupon their owner called out from his window to them to quit coercing me, and they retreated, flicking their tails and tossing their manes, as if laughing.
Then, I heard many kittens calling behind me in an overgrown field, and a woman and I gathered them all and their mother to give them sanctuary – with my finding one a little older accompanying them and wrapping its blue, short-furred with black tiger stripes lankiness into the comfort of my partially rolled up shirt, snuggled against me as if in a momma’s pouch.
(Ganeni – Elyanna)
Farther Apart
As the family disbands
I grow colder
Pulling inward
To warm my own heart.
Down To One
I don’t like how it feels: our Ranger having to take the last stand watch minus once company.
She is fragile and must be supervised when out of her room, and all I can do is make it more cozy.
“Don’t Send A Man To The Grocery Store”
Backup Plans
It is good to stay diversified.
A New Word: Consceptual
Conscious conceptualizing
Staggering Forward
Sometimes, it is better to just stay in bed for a while.
Why Is It
“I’m so tired, until I close my eyes?”
Hoop Jumping
I think that I am done for now in attempting to take college classes.
(One By One – Diplo ft. Elderbrook & Andhim)
Center Punch
There’s a type of madness
In having to make the call
After pushing it back
Until could no longer.
Howl
Our Queen has passed.
(We love you so much, magic Z.)
(In My Arms – Plumb)
In My Arms
“I held our family together…”
“Feeling Perky”
I’ve been crying alot today (thus puffy eyes) because our Queen had a terrible setback, but our Ranger got me laughing as she climbed up onto to my shoulders!
Dreamer
“I’ve always had to expand my internal horizons in the absence of congruent external realities.”

A Rare Sunny Day
Remaining moments to let our royala roam the garden.
Not If, But When
Our queen got hurt last night, her belly so swollen and bulging…
And our ranger won’t stop rubbing her bleeding jaw injury!
Feelin’ Like
I’ve been run over.

Mary
She didn’t cry until it was safe to let down her hair.
I Don’t Get It
“Why does a guy at the gym wide range on the far outskirts of my perimeter, but when he has a woman with him, he displays in front of me and looks in my direction -?”
Qualifier
Someone I can believe in.
Yeah, It Was A Blow
“Because I gave so much – and he just left, after years of receiving.”
(Save A Soul – Nimino)
In The End
Our tiger went first
He was the oldest
God, I miss him
Now the two girls
Sisters in spirit
Soon traveling
And the wolf is
Loosing sight
Though fiesty
Two fish gone
With only one
Flaring proudly
Our numbers
Diminishing =
Accomplished?
Lives cared for –
But were they
Truly happy?
The “reward” is
Freedom from
Responsibility
Talk about
Heart-wrench
Loss reality!

A Good Moment
Taking the queen and ranger to the vet this morning, they both were up to their prior usual antics.
Our queen climbed onto the couch and tried to eat fake grass, and our ranger kept ranging all over up and down – including both trying and succeeding at easing onto my shoulders while I was sitting.
Then, our queen settled onto my lap and our ranger came and went as they both received cuddles, head-boop-groomed each other in gentle affection, and absorbed my carresses while stretching into gentle spine-flex rubs.
For once, we were there as a happy family.
Yes, the three of us are each falling apart in various stages – but we’ve belonged together.
Unified.
And I realized that this moment – for such rare moments as these – is what all of the struggle to keep them some version of healthy and alive has been all about.
Pure caring.
Sparks of joy
Love.
