From Whence You Came

From Whence You Came

	Lie straight, lie bent
It is all the but smooth
The fur upon your back,
As your tongue rolls over
All the same, all the same

The eye quivers in sight
Behold! There comes nothing
But a sad, sudden light
Come forth! Forward, you go
For I am all the same
All the same, all the same

Warmth brightly tickles
Every standing fur on your back
Haste not away, for the warmth
Is not easily driven away
For it is all the same, all the same

Spiral inward and out
Come away and come again
I love you–the warmth
The lightness of your purr
The excitement lit in dull corners
For I love you all the same, All the same

Hell Joshua St., How old is your kitty? Are your grey Tabbies females? Or one male one female? I want o know is a male Tabby better than the female Tabby? I ask because i am thinking of getting a Tabby. Thank you. /Darlene/

Thank you! I have two grey tabbies, though this is about my kitty Walter. I'm glad you enjoyed! And you as well.
