A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 89

Day 89: “Cappa Jo”

---

When I lay my head

on my pillow

where my cat is waiting

purring

I sink into her calmness

and in that moment

everything is okay

---

As I lay

listening to her purrs

my headache goes away

my neck relaxes

my eyes close

my hands trace her soft fur

I feel okay

I feel whole

I feel loved

I feel like everything is going to be okay
