Cat on the sunshade

It played with sunshine

On the green walls,

Where moss‘s velvet shimmered

Like emeralds.

Tumbled on boulders,

Yet feisty all the more,

Above the overlooked,

Across the insipid times.

It was a game of hide-and-seek,

Of a hidden cat,

Of a puzzled sun,

A mesmerizing treasure,

A bewildered hunter.

We clapped our hands,

We lured with fish,

It didn’t cease the game

And game was to go on.
