a moment of pause

[fledgist]

a cat came on my porch and sat a while
it sniffed around investigated things
i sat at my desk observing with a smile
my thought was travelling on its own wings
the sleek black creature made itself at home
surveyed us with its open golden eyes
i wondered where next it would roam
to give some other poet a nice surprise
in order to understand we analyse
but miss some things a naked eye would see
to do both things is what i would think wise
or like the feline to be sleekly free
the time will come for deeper thought and chat
till then i'll contemplate that noble cat
