Little One

She’s not very tall

doesn’t have much to say

She’s there when I need her

Her kind eyes melt

the frozen solitude

of lonely days

Her rough kisses

pull me from the realm

of night and

remind me

there is sun


How can such

a tiny heart

beat with the rhythm

of the wind and

carry me to angelic heights

where the aftershocks

of hard places

can’t be felt


Six and a half pounds

of black and white fur

carries the weight of my world

tiptoes into my soul and

tickles my heart

with her joy
