Moment Poem

"Driving to Work"


It seemed like just another morning,
driving in the car, I turned onto the freeway
looking at the car ahead of me

I barely saw it at first, 
like a little piece of trash blowing across the road
at closer inspection within a split second
 I saw it's little legs running for the safety of the shoulder

Across two lanes this tiny kitten fled
it almost looked like he had been hit a few times
my heart sank pounding into the brakes
that I knew I couldn't hit
not at sixty miles an hour

I quickly saw him scramble out of the way
as I prayed he was alright
I knew there was no turning back to see
