The Cat In The Window

She sits on the window ledge

watching the world.

I wonder

what\'s on her mind.

Is she looking at the

woods beyond

at what dangers lurk there

Is she worrying about how to 

survive in this world

Is she sad 

thinking about her lost kittens,

worrying about her one surviving baby

or is she having some \'me\' time

away from all her problems

watching the bees and the butterflies,

wondering about

what\'s beyond the blue blue sky

or is she thinking of 

what mischief she can 

get away with.

She sits there  

on the window ledge

warming herself 

in the sunlight

still, not moving ..

She sits on the window ledge

watching the world.
