CIRCLE OF CATS

By Dennis C. Callin (Rumblepurr)


A watch by night
      By candlelight.
Eyes that glow
      In the shadows show.
Pointed ears
      Slight sounds can hear.
Whiskers twitch
       In breezes itch.
Noses wet bright
      Scent things in the night.
Mouths smile
      At thoughts feline wild.
Rattling purr
      In chests under fur.
Soft are the paws
      That hide sharp claws.
Tails in the dark
      Curl question marks.
Jellicles all
      That answer the call.
In moonlit night
      Silver orb shining bright.
A flicker of flame
      Contemplation of the Name.
A silent Voice
      The thought of a Choice.
Throughout the Night
      Search for one that is Right.
The call is given
      Stars shine in Heaven.
Extinguish the light
      Paws touch, softly patter
A new day starts
      Sorrow in their hearts.
Sun appears in the dawn
      The Jellicles are gone…
