The weekly waka

Rescued,

the sickly kitten
blossoms
and thrives, his legacy
reverberates through time


Who knows
by what grand design paths cross
and leave
lives changed and
the world a better place?


I rejoiced
when the rain came and
it mingled
with my tears that fell
both in gratitude and sorrow

By Beth Lowell

Three kittens
asleep in a cart;
"Please help us"
lettered on cardboard;
a sad, white-haired man.
