ol' bones

she circles slowly
teetering in life
hard to move
hard to hold
patient she enjoys
sun and rest
and rest and sleep
won't be long now
but still a purr
can be coaxed
from the day
satisfaction in
the waiting

Sweet testament to a precious friend, written with your usual detached stance. Loved the short style, thanks Mr Goodguy,

I have nothing to say but quote the following from Donne's Holy Sonnet 10:

Death, be not proud...
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not....
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best ones with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
