Where Are You, Ninja?

Oh, Ninja. Where did you go? Soft paws silent

as falling snow. Your eyes like amber in the night, you vanished into

fading light. My beloved Ninja, where are you now? The years have

passed, but I don't know how. Every whisper of the wind feels

like your call. But it's empty, it's nothing at all. Ooh.

I still see you in the corner there. The sunlit spot, your

favorite chair. The echoes of your gentle purr haunt the silence

as memories stir. I reach for you, but you're not near.
