Poetry. About my sleeping cat.

Oh Sleepy Cat
By Paul Klusman

Oh cat asleep in a chair

On a rainy afternoon

Your sound of breathing calm

Against the cold gloom

Your paws and whiskers twitch

As you roam a field of green

Somewhere far away

In a sunny golden dream

Do you chase birds and mice?

Or elusive butterfly?

Do you wait for happiness?

Oh dear cat so do I

Now waking from your slumber

Stretch and fold your ears

Into the kitchen wander

Then soon you reappear

And back upon your chair

Circling into a ball

Close your eyes breathing

Back asleep you fall

Into another universe

Oh feline astronaut

Wherever dreams take you

Wherever time forgot

And when time does return

And when the bough break

I'll be here next to you

Again when you awake
