Cat Days
Virginia Salter


some days
I’m so much like a cat. . .
no matter on which side of the door I’m standing
it feels like the wrong side

Am I to be as Sand?
Virginia Salter

sand, as if motionless,
lies beside the sea
receiving blows of blue and crimson tide
yet ‘going with the flow’
ever changing
building, collapsing,
rippling as Sea caresses and rocks it
accepting whatever move it’s given
never straining to gain or keep hold
is  ‘going with the flow’
really what one’s to do
just let the sea and wind
keep a perfect hold on you?

And, like me, so independent...and the sands of the beach, are like the new day, we start all over again, with a clean visage...gentle smile
