Troiku for Tiger

Posted on October 11, 2022 | 41 Comments
Tiger cat

Relentless cycles
Heartbreak imminent today
Regrets optional

Relentless cycles
Bodies crumble and decay
Replenish the earth

Heartbreak imminent
We don’t want you to suffer
Sleep gentle in peace

Regrets optional
We remember sweet moments
She lives in our hearts

    {{{{HUGS}}}} Paula. A beautiful tribute poem that feels like a template for a life-death cycle but has the heart as its center.
