Mrs Gerbil Poem by Paul Reed

Mrs Gerbil



So strong were you in your disguise
In that little world behind your bars
But you spoke to me without words
Because I took the time to listen

You waited for me and eagerly met;
Your escape from prison for fleeting seconds
You tasted freedom and safety and love all at once
Daring to explore but wanting to be cradled

Trust gained is never lost;
You trusted me eternally thereafter
Believing the bounds were the worlds edges
And not of my making

So passed the days until you grew old
And no longer wanting to be free
You slipped into your own nether world
But still a part of me
