Phillip Coffey - In the Midst

2022-10-11IN THE MIDST (To Mom)

Seeing a lone rose in the distance, moistening, soothing the manic In the raging storm.
Removing the top hat before entering, paying tribute to a close friend.
Tossing the outer garment to those feeling no warmth in the chill
In the midst of the grieving.
While every day much ado is made about the insignificant - all seems lost.
Others taking a stand for the freedoms of so many-sacrificial loss a - plenty.

Over there are the simple smiles, chuckles of the innocence of children.
Walking through all, protected by family members - breaking their fall.
Tired and weathered still laughing, rejoicing though left with no family In her generation.
Grip each day ever so gently, never tightly - releasing the joy of living to all.

Veronica writes, "Barn kitty Toulouse is a very curious kitty. He wasn't shocked or even harmed, but the people watching were so nervous watching him walk the fence next to hot wire! Did curiosity kill the cat? Shockingly, NO!"
