Kitty Paws

Kitty Paws Upon the lake The kitty paws Betray the coming wind Their silence take No time for pause In judgment of my friend But in the wake Is found a cause To jibe the sea again And sail for sake Of hidden awes That justify the end. ~by deborah burch *kitty paws are the ripples on the water that indicate there is wind about...a sight for sore eyes when sails are in a dulldrom! ;) db
