Floating Cats I
Cats appear to float
A slight breeze keeps them moving
They make me happy.

Floating Cats II
For weeks at a time
I don’t see them, these 5 little cats
And then, an invisible current of air
Swirls around, moves them gently
And as peripheral vision catches it,
I give them my undivided attention.
This little bit of whimsy and beauty
Makes me happy.

Floating Cats III
They sat in a box, neglected and broken,
My mom couldn’t throw them away.
Their silent mews to me were spoken-
I tell you I heard them that day!

I rescued them with a bit of string
I set things all aright.
To balance them was a tricky thing,
But eventually they took flight

And when in airy stillness they float
I blow and make them dance
A simple pleasure, a quiet note,
My life has been enhanced.

God’s in His heaven,
All’s right with the world.
Robert Browning

I’m reprinting this from my old blog because it’s been a busy day. It feels like cheating!

I’ll probably delete this in the morning, or just return it to its former home.
