the little black cat

And the time came

For the little black cat

To step into the night

Where she found stars shining brightly

The moon in her silver splendor

Hanging on the dark velvet of the sky

Like a precious jewel

She wandered down the street

And thought of the stories

Hiding behind closed doors

Saw dreams floating like a mist

Over the city

Even the flowers were sleeping

Like shadows in the silent gardens

Where are you going little black cat?

The wind whispered

I am off to see the world

Around the corner

Over the bridge

The world is big and far away

Answered the wind

I will come with you

Yes of course answered the cat

But haven’t you seen the world many times

That I have little friend

And I have many stories to tell of what I saw

To share with you

As we go on our way
