Blessed Are Sunbeams

The old world pulls him back as he drifts quickly
through the door of reality, carried on the mighty wings
of Morpheus

Senses not dulled by millennia near the warm hearth
of man, he stalks again the ancient landscapes 
of genetic memory

Untamed heart beat quickens still in 
silent anticipation of the lost joys and glories of yore; 
the quarry, the hunt, the capture 

Sleepily, slowly, body lolling and rolling, 
fore limbs akimbo as if in prayer to the one who's radiance  
now warms his belly

A plea, a pledge, a graceful dance of feline reverence;
a perfect prayer to the only true God left in his now 
long tamed world

Blessed are sunbeams,
in the dreams
of a cat
