Radiance

This is the last poem in "Out of Cullen Street (A House of Madness)", forgiveness and peace finally having been found.  Enjoy!

A radiant being
descended upon
her old home
today,

The place where
she grew up –

***

Sunlight,
filtering through
slats
& faded window shades,

Brightens
& shines more clearly
as she passes,
bringing
contented purrs and stretches
to the aged
and bony cats
who lie aslumber
in the path
of the warming,
dappling rays

***

Dear Old Dog, quiet
for once,
wags her tail,
a friendly question
sparkling
in her tired, rheumy eyes,
her grey paws
dancing,
young again
for a shining, vaporous moment

(— Oh, yes, and I
like you too,
my very dear, I
like you, too! —)

***

This radiant being
brought contentment
to her birthplace
today,

& left it
brighter
than the stars

***

Dear Old Dog's
asleep now,
wearing moonlit strips
and dreaming,

While the erstwhile slumberous
ancient cats
awake
to quest the night

And radiance

remains
