April 4

Where were we…
In the setting fall, a young kitten cries under a large oak tree.
Nestled in loneliness, the dark brown feline looks up at the sky, it’s hopes dwindling.
As the sun sets, the rest of the world passes by..unaware of the kitten.
It curls up, accepting that help is not coming…
Trying for another day, begging for the mercy of sleep…

Inside us all…the kitten sleeps sorrowfully.
Inside us all…we ignore it again.
