Sitting
Here sitting in my chair,
Looking over at the cat,
Laying, sleeping in excess hair,
White tufts studding the black.
Curled in a half-ball, tail covering paws,
She raises a lid occasionally to check
On me, make sure of no sudden moves.
She knows me pretty well by now.

Comb my imagination, remember infatuations,
My desperate, blank mind stretching here and there,
Traveling near and far, reaching everywhere.
Next to me, quite comfy on her chair
Dozes a big bundle of natural
Information and entertainment.
Looking so cute and vulnerable...
Aha! I'll write about the cat.

As strong as the storming gale,
As confident and radiant as the shinning sun,
As mysterious
