Grey Cat by the Window
Weekends,
I wonder at my cat,
by the window he sits,
In a nook he fits.
Outside,
He looks through the glass,
Yonder upon the grass,
Lies a bird.
Wonder,
I do, why does he sit there so,
Into his mind I’d go,
What does he long for?
Now,
I join my feline friend,
Watching from within our den,
Sharing the same desire.
Hope,
Apart, yet still together,
As another obstacle to conquer,
This enemy unseen.
I pet,
My cat,
As we continue to wonder.
