A Thought for Today

The older we get the more we learn to believe in the power of truth.

FROM the¨BOOKS

Magic

On furry fours she comes to me
tail flicking, twitching in the air,
then mental judgment firm, intact,
she jumps up on my land and lands
firm, exactly as she planned.
She pushes at my whiskered chin,
                     and I push back.

It’s Magic’s Welcome Home.
The non-accusing purr
is pure electric.
While I was gone
a new trick has been mastered.
She throws a round red ball
                      high in the air,
catches it and bats it
back and forth to Edward.

Nikki watches
like a grandstand tennis fan,
head stationary, eyes rowing left to right.
