the night is calm
a soft light glows
a circle of sunset
it is here inside
a hole in darkness
the day continues
soft still and gentle
my feet propped up
a book in my hand
glass of wine beside
prepared for relaxation
then a sudden stirring
a small black shape
slipping into my lap
and the purring begins
a time of bonding
between cat and I
as each of us forgive
the other's actions
and so the day ends
with peaceful thoughts
forgotten by morning
as the game starts again
The second stanza is pure poetry!!
ReplyDeleteThe rest is sweet and soft, like the poem.
"a hole in darkness" suits me as a title
and so the day ends [...] forgotten by morning
ReplyDeletewhat a great line
This poem conjures up a nice warm feeling of cosiness. Very nice.
