MistMist! I've been smitten Since you were just a kitten Mist! I've been smitten Since you were just a kitten You are black, and you know it You can hide right before me Close your eyes on the carpet Disappear: you evade me Touch my face, Sunday dawning Catch a mouse - catch a catnap Touch my life, every morning Jumping up into my lap Touch my face, Sunday dawning Catch a mouse - catch a catnap Touch my life, every morning Jumping up into my lap Pounce! Catch my shoelace Run away. Where's that catface? Catch my shoelace Run away. Where's that catface? One meow. Can't resist her Kneading paws... purring softly Flip that tail, twitch that whisker Always near: always with me Mist! I've been smitten Since you were just a kitten Mist! I've been smitten Since you were just a kitten ~~~~~~~~ Close your eyes, twitch a whisker You are gone. Right before me Missed |
| On December 15, 2004, our cat Misty passed away. We had to put her down. She had a bad heart, yet she had a very good heart. When she was young, we were told she had at most a year to live. Yet, Misty graced our lives for ten years. We were there with her in her last moments on earth, her last breath. Our lives were better because of her love. We will miss her very much. |
listening to Nu Sungo - Spyro Gyra
(think: a wake, a pattern, 1.2.3..1.2.3.4..)
then listening to The Unknown Soldier - also Spyro Gyra
(think: awakening, why is a cat's life like a human life?)
A recounting of the loss of another special cat inspired this song.
