Kingsley

A voice calls out

Weakly in the dark

Breathing is rather shallow

A pain is in the heart

It is in this moment 

When lights go off in my brain

Life is truly fleeting

For those who do remain

There was little to be done

Injuries were too great

We gave you love and comfort

Hoping to ease away your pain

There was this tender moment

When you ceased to be alive

Warm memories keep flooding in

Of life when you were fine

A cat at the crossroads

Curious to the core

Searching for adventures 

Waiting outside the screen door

Stalking an elusive chipmunk

A butterfly if you pleased

Rest easily my friend

With your new inner peace
