Five Hundred And Five (An Older Fiction Story I Wrote)

         Upside down and inches from my face there it was, there he was. A cat's face that both annoyed and amused me; I will admit though, a restrained terror was my first response when I woke up. I'm still not used to him.

          I'm not a cat person (something I think he uses this to his advantage), and I never have been. I am close to my sister though, and when she was gone I couldn't just let him go. He didn't wanna leave her at first (knowing something was wrong when she didn't wake up), and so I took him since he knew me from frequent visits. I wanted to have closure, I needed it since it was sudden (I think both of us did), and so I took him with me.

           He didn't eat much (if any) at first, and then one day that changed. He met me on my bed, fast asleep, waiting patiently until I woke up, and then meowed. He was hungry. I was hungry. We both wanted change that we were hungry for. This first time only brought annoyance, and so I got up and we started to live again.

         Day after day this became routine, only it was always a face-to-face greeting. We began realizing we'd need each other, and he was able to accept it faster than I. Slowly it changed and in this unusual bond we began to heal. We grew together. I'm still not a cat person; I think he's more than a cat though and I more than his person. Funny how five hundred miles to get him and five days after can change us (those who aren't "cat people" I mean). I do wish he'd wait for his breakfast though off the bed.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
