The Dreamcatchers Sway

I wake up, and the newness of life awaits me

I wish to be kind to myself and everyone around me

I know people are flawed, and so am I

But I wish to be warm

I think I’ve had enough of coldness

I think I’ve spent way too many days lost in the dark

I keep searching for a light within and outside me

To care, without expecting much in return

To love and be loved

I go to wish my cat good morning

He is asleep beside his water bowl

I take him to my bedroom

It’s okay, I don’t wake him up often

I think I don’t. I hope I don’t

The softness of his fur

Always makes it way to my poems

He doesn’t stay. I follow him

Oh, it’s time to eat

I’ve finally solved the mystery

Maybe he doesn’t hate me

I wait for him to have his breakfast

I bring him back to my bedroom

This time, he stays

He sits under the table

His paws tucked in

He is falling asleep again

The whirring of the fan

All my dreamcatchers sway

I have three in my bedroom

And I still have nightmares

Maybe I need more

The dreamcatchers sway

My cat sleeps

The grapes on the table smile

Life is alright

Life is good.
