Give your angels charge over those who sleep

Part five of the bedtime prayer.

We all take turns
As angels,
Taking charge
Over those who sleep.
No wings:
Just hands
And eyes
And ears.
Sometimes even feet
To bear us
To the caring place.
The kitten is sound asleep
On my chest.
Today I am angel
To a one pound calico kitten.

Meditation (with kitten)

Quiet time has changed. It may never be the same.

She loves the older cat’s tail.
She loves the possibility
Of my coffee cup.
She loves getting stuck in places
She cannot get out of.
She climbs on me
The older cat watches
A glint of amusement
In his eye.
No
It is not time for a nap.
No.
Not yet.
No.
Maybe not ever.
Oh
There’s the tail.
She forgot.
I watch,
A glint of amusement
In my eye.
His turn.
