“Cats live for the sensation of life, not for something they might achieve or not achieve”
Quote by- John Gray
have you ever seen a Queen*
play with her kittens
a show of affection a show of sincere love
one should learn to share equally like her ...
a bundle of joy
holding grooming
her tiny bundles of joy to her heart’s content
she is unmindful of world around
focused to keep her healthy kittens
clean, at ease, pleased to embrace them all
in singular swoop…
four weeks of age
look at those beautiful littermates
learning to groom, licking, chewing their own paws ....
practicing their skills
on their loving mother
pinning down another to groom again and over
squatting wobbly to reach their own fluffy tails
they fall over one another like flowers
world can wait and wait for them again
and they start to play…
a thread a wool a ball a feather a toy a spot of torch-light
a tinkling bell a door curtain to climb
crumpled paper ball a dimpled chair ...
stalking, pouncing, riding, playing Tai Chi and Zen
seems silly while getting ready as though to catch something
a cardboard box holds so much joy to them
gets them so madly excited –
mad like a girl gifted with loads of diamonds
the box gives way it can’t take so much beating
four naughty kittens and a heavy mother
jumping on it, jumping in it, jumping through it
is enough to tear away the box to pieces
peace descends on one and all as
the box is taken away…
useful by being useless
there they are tiny hearts beating joy-
were you ever happy like them ? mysterious aura
surrounds them, agile, patient, cautious, quiet and calm are they
with mother with littermates
they never ever lose the joy of
life...
