A Cat and a Tree

Desired for a walk in an empty street
Gone astray from the city and the crowd
The moon and the stars will guide 
To brightened up this dim night
Yearning for loneliness sometimes

Days are completed by traps and pains 
Desired of diversion from the tension
To find peace in this gallant night
And the dark and the cold are comfort
Merged to gain a spark of hope

This tired mind needed a recharge
Just wandering around
No fear is bound
The sun waves goodbye beyond those clouds
As the sky just faded away, just faded away 

A tough sight of earthly figure
Standing still without react 
With fur looked nothing like mine
Color like the ground where I stand 
And the moonlight brightened up his charisma
How amazing, I stare from the land that I stand

No word has spoken, all I can hear is the sound of your dancing fur
Following the rhythm of the night breeze
In this open shelter to all the missing souls
Dear anonymous, I asked you to accompany me

Oh, I’m not like those people who intend to build a kingdom?
Oh, I’m not like those people who would break their hearts in instant
I just want to find one life	
I just want to find one love

I’m nobody; I only see things from my drowsy eyes
The city is too crowd that why I seek for loneliness elsewhere
Under the sky is everybody’s home
As the sky becomes my roof and the grass is the ground where I rest

My four exhausted feet have led me to you
Resting my eyes just for this one long night
And between those stars I know that
One of them is wondering why I’m here all by myself

I have traveled through battles of persuasion
I may not be a man’s best friend but I’m not a foe
Got a find another home, got to find another heart to love
As I share everything to you
My silent friend
