Dear Carlitos

Carlitos in his house with his loved ones (Torrevieja, Spain, 2018)

Dear Carlitos,

You left us yesterday

I wasn't ready...

But are we ever?

Are we ever ready

For a loved one to suddenly be gone

Never to be seen again?

So final!

Ahhh...

Tears roll down

An Emptiness

That cannot be filled

A Realising

Of the Temporary

A Burning

That resists the Taking Away...

Then... 

Ever-loving Compassion

Stands before you

Her Goldness 

Immortally Luminous

Shimmering her Voice

Sings of Unending Love 

And the 

Emptiness fills with Light

The Temporary becomes Permanent

The Burning transmutes into Peace

Dear Carlitos

Your Immortality

Is our Immortality

Ever in our House

Ever in our Hearts!

I thank you for having been here in temporary form

 Showing me the feline love and courage that I never knew existed

Opening my Heart to the Animal Beings

My Friends and Companions 

On this Mysterious Journey 

To the Heart of Immortality

Hugs and Sweet Nudges,

Carmy xxxx
