Cat and pigeon

Caring dove

A moment today 

me sitting outside 

by the cat resting with the breeze and sun 

I hear and see a pretty pigeon playing with a twig in the tree 

she was sitting held by the branch 

walking on a place that maybe felt steady ,safe , normal 

and maybe felt part of that tree at that moment 

allowed to be 

safe to be there 

walking the branches 

 

tender tree always allows these pigeons and other birds to sit and walk along their space 

their used to this 

quiet birds 

singing birds 

resting in their steady soft stable space 

seems ‘ normal ‘ 

and the cat , she gazes  at the pigeon with her cloudy soft eyes 

whilst I too was standing , watching the pigeon at the same time 

 

a nice distraction from my mind 

and that feeling of disconnect 

soft breeze with me 

a cat by my side 

and a pigeon near to me 

walking in that tree 

 

 

nice to be outside 

I could see a pigeon connected to the tree 

and a cat connected ti the grass 

A soft sight outside of the four walls

  • Comment from author about the poem: The cat who visits us had cataracts ( I think .. that’s why her eyes are all cloudy ) But yeah nice to just step into the garden and sit by the cat I havnt been anywhere today apart from the garden .. and I was upset earlier with how I felt .

    How lovely these simple observations of life can be, and how comforting when needed. Nature does heal us. Beatifully told!

        I enjoy the birds and the squirrels who come to the feeders on my deck every day. They do become friends. Your 'boots' sounds lovely. Hve a beautiful day!

        You built an image where I drew from it a metaphor. The pigeon or dove of peace, the cat a predator but blinded, and the observer. Make of it what you may but is seems to have peace predators must in some way be blinded and left to be fed by those that care. Loved the poem

        A lovely write and nicely observed, expressing the comfort that little things can bring us, and give us a little break from the stresses of life, enjoyed the read

        Oh Caring Dove…this brought such a still, tender peace. 🌳🕊️ The way you described that moment—cat grounded, pigeon held by the tree, and you right there, watching—felt like a soft breath I didn’t know I needed. I’m so sorry the day started rough, but I’m glad the garden gave you that bit of presence. You gave it to us too. 🌹👏 Feel better, my friend!
