No Reason Why

My lifeblood chills at every cry,
Though same, your silence stills my heart --
Knowing soon that ye shall pass
A fresh life doomed to soon depart.
Born weeping 'twixt a pallid sky
With mother gone (no reason why) --
And now ye lie inside this box
Begging mercy breaks the locks
We draw a veil to dim the light
Against your newborn eyes --
As you crawl without your sight
With no control ahead what lies.
So shriek and weep to count the sheep
That calmly lull thee to a sleep --
Now follow angels' lullaby,
Soon baby's gone, no reason why.

Wow.
There are some lines here that are quite remarkable. Given your author's note at the top of this, I can easily read this with two different perspectives.... one being, thoughts prompted by that helpless, bitty kitten... and the other.... as if I hadn't read that note. For whatever reason, the latter perspective is more powerful. I think we are moved most often times by the meanings we 'discover' in a poem so to speak. It is, at least, that way for me.
Wonderfully crafted. That you got this... from little kitty mews, impresses me much. I'd so much rather read something like this than a happy little poem about a fluffy little kitten, if you know what I mean. I'll have to check out more of your work!
