i stand at a crossroads.
behind me are many homes,
many promises,
broken.
to my right
and to my left,
there lies two roads
empty.
before me
is darkness.
the end of it all.
nothing.
is this my life?
is this where it led?
to loneliness?
to emptiness?
if i had the words
i would cry out,
i am more than this.
i am more than nothingness.
Very poignant, Carol. So sad - and so true for many animals. There's a beautiful tabby cat that's hanging around our neighborhood now - someone has dumped him. He's so sweet and affectionate, but just looking in his eyes you can tell he's confused, scared and lonely. He just doesn't understand what's happened. We're all feeding him, but I don't know where he sleeps at night. He's an uneutered male, so I can't bring him into my home because my big male cat would probably beat him up. It breaks my heart.
Thanks Carol. I'll be over here with my head in the oven.
