for Gypsy

I lie here with the cats

and the lilac scent

and I am grateful.

Grateful to have my cat

Gypsy at my feet,

Grateful that my other cat Ocean

is lying in the window,

Grateful that the birds sing,

Grateful for the faraway buzz

of a lawnmower,

and Grateful for the grass that grows.

Grateful to watch Gypsy

move to the window

where he sticks his nose out,

just below the 3 x-rays of his stomach,

that I placed in the window

a few days ago,

so the light could shine through,

Grateful for the dog’s bark

and the birds chirping,

and my neighbor walking by

with his dog on a leash.

Grateful for technology

yet never could figure out

exactly what happened,

Grateful

for the hidden mysterious

ways of healing

there behind the veil

at the center of things.

Grateful for the vets

that attended to Gypsy

Grateful for those I spoke to about Gypsy

and for the times

I said nothing at all

and just backed away and

let the mystery that is at the

center of all things

do its work.

*******

Grateful that Gypsy is

licking his paw.
