    Stray



    Out of the blue, you call
    Like a thief in the night
    Destitute
    Squalid and furry
    Crawling on all fours
    At my back door
    Head quarters to healin'
    Perserverance in your eyes detract
    The barely audible whimpers 
    I rescue you from your woes
    Doing my best to restore thee
    Elixirs come to mind; for starters
    Host of other details as well 
    I prepare a steamy bubbly liquid for your soak
    Sustenance in abundance; devoured
    Copious liquids quenched your thirst 
    Following inordinate hours of quiescent slumber
    Your youthful health
    Moments earlier, obscurred; now returns 
    Out of the blue, you disappeared quickly
    From whence you came
    Like a thief in the night

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
