Longing
dormant
skeletal trees
and sleeping roots and bulbs
all awaiting resurrection
in spring

Yesterdays
Yesterdays
for CC
The moment you appeared
mouthy and sassy,
full of feline eccentrics,
you had won us over.
You never gave any thought
of adapting to our way of life –
it is we who adapted
to your ways.
Now when arriving home,
I still expect to see you
sitting in the window waiting
with an air of indifference.
Little things that meant so much
gone now never to be again.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
We think back on days past
and still remember
the less pleasant ones.
We might wish we could go back
and change the past
to hand-picked yesterdays.
But if we changed the past
moments we cherish today
might be lost.
Better to choose our memories
and live for a better
tomorrow.
