The Cat Who Taught Us About Love

The other day,
a beautiful cat appeared at home.
Very friendly.
Looking well cared for.

The cat decided to take
our patio as a place to sleep.
Every morning,
He meets us at the door.

We found out from the neighbors.
There is a family that takes care of him.
From time to time, we feed him too.
We don't want him to depend on us.

He’s a free wild cat who loves the forest.
He’s independent.
Does not belong to us.
One day, He’ll probably disappear.

We must not get too emotionally involved.
He is free and so are we.
Special relationship has grown.
Love without attachment.

As all love should be as its only love when Truly offered free from illusion of duty given freely from the heart without expectation.This in turn nurtures it to flourish as removed is the element of fear.I love you simply because "I Do".That dear friend is special.Thanks for putting this thought to pen.
