Where Are You in the Rainbow?
Are you behind the curtain,
the wall of doubt
that keeps surrounding me
each time I try to hold
your hand
or hear your voice
again?
Is it a hide-and-seek game
we are playing
or are you truly gone,
leaving our home to face storms
and paws who loved us
uncertain
of where you are
or when the next cuddle
will be?
If you need time to think,
have a talk with blue moon
when you come back
the threshold, walls,
our kittens, and me
will be smiling
happy to be a family
for all tomorrows
that are ours.
I haven’t lost you
if a memory
is strong enough
to help you
stay.
