RDP #72 – Cat
https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2018/08/11/rdp-72-cat/
***
I’ve been meaning to do these Ragtag Daily Prompts, so for my first one today, the word is ‘cat’, and well, I love cats of all kinds.

This is a picture I painted a long time ago.
I’ve always known the tiger is my spirit animal.
This is a poem I wrote about it years ago.
~
Tiger
In misty dreams you came to me
When I was only two or three
A forest dark, and deep, and green
I wondered what my dreams could mean
You were my friend, my Spirit kin
A guardian without, a guardian within
I was born into your year
Tiger Spirit always near
Magnificent eyes, shining bright
I weep at what now’s your plight
Endangered in this cruel world
Victim of the weapons hurled
If only we could be at peace
Return to dreams without surcease
To that mystery forest in the night
We could try to again make it right
I know that you will always be
In my dreams
A part of me

Thanks for visiting! Peace ☮️

Love the cat painting. Are you still painting? You really should.
Thanks so much, Carol!
I go in phases of painting a lot, then not doing any for awhile. The last I’ve done was painting on rocks. I like doing these and leaving them around town for others to find. 🙂
Oh that’s lovely! You’re a talented artist!
(Mine’s a crocodile, no paintings to be found.)
Thanks so much! I’ve been painting off and on for many years.
A crocodile! How neat! How did you know the crocodile was your spirit animal?
He comes to me, my crocodile, only in my dreams. He’s a voice of wisdom. He’s reassuring.
When I explained it to a friend, she suggested the ‘spirit animal’ thing to me — I was around 30.
How wonderful!
Yes, I believe that’s how you know…they come to you in dreams. I don’t think you can just pick one, as they choose you, and come when you need them.
very cool painting and I enjoyed the poem too
Thanks so much, M! 🙂
