bittersweet goodbyes
our fairy tale begins in the ocean of creativity
a sea monster swims, looking and figuring
seeing other floats, he grabs some wood
the sea monster plans away as best he could
adding more sea #life, six make it float
opening the gates, cats jump aboard the boat
scurrying around, quickly deciding to reside
the cats eager to open their heart and their minds
they planted flowers and trees made out of internet ink
attracting more felines, though the wood did not sink
the new cats and kittens were accepted and felt loved
this instant belonging was needed for the new bunch
some kittens immature, but growing and learning
writing and reading and liking and loving
setting sail, with no destination in mind
picking up speed and friends, in for the ride
the sea got dangerous, lightning seen, thunder sounded
though the original litter of cats stayed optimistic and grounded
phases of plagiarism, tweets, spam and fan fiction
though poetry mainly fuelled the addiction ignition
after time, against the efforts of the sea monster, the boat began sinking
cats began to panic, worried about the sea, thinking
about what they could do to help keep the wood from rotting
the sea monster carefully handed the wood over to someone figuring
the cats gratitude unable to be put into words
as he worked and worked and jumped over hurdles
he kept the wood afloat while constructing a new boat
time passed and here we are awaiting to board the new float
the new wood has a name, leaving the old here
excited and bittersweet, sentimental of opussia
the cats leaving their homes, the kittens, their childhood
growing up here, the kittens learnt and are thankful.
here she lies, original opussia, full of opussycats.
here's to inspiration, the power of words, improving,
listening to voices, cats, kittens, liking, submitting, reposting,
to challenges, effort, energy, patience, communication,
poetry, formed friendships, supporting, emotion,
ideas, #haikus, spirit, changing lives, stories, passion,
literature, language, trial, guidance, gratitude, expression.
to creation, passion and devotion.
to the community built on love and words.
to saying bittersweet goodbyes.
to saying hello with hope.
