Birds

Drinking coffee with my cat beside me,
looking out the picture window at a tree

Where a feeder hangs full of seeds,
a cardinal, dress in brown begins to feed

My cat looks out then looks at me,
I stroke his fur saying let him be

A red cardinal joins his mate,
both feeding as if on a date

Looking at my little cat beside me,
thinking how it must feel, to be that free
