To stand for a moment cup in hand
To stare upon a piece of land
Framed by the window pane
Speckled clean by fallen rain
Bordered in by this and that
Roams a forgotten cat
Passed the weeds that grew
Beyond my peripheral view
Simple saddness and simple pain
Thoughts flow in and out again
Why this and why not that
I’d rather roam with the cat
Cup refilled with coffee brew
In hand now a list of what “To Do”
Knowing the sun is trapped somewhere
I still continue on to stare
Trees surrounding 30 feet of grass
Where two rabbits begin to pass
A wonder for my heart to see
Why they are precious to me
Dancing a dance in circle ‘round
My eyes laughing without a sound
Thank the Master you are not tame
For it brings about a ball and chain
With a gust of wind the trees wave
But no I can’t come out and play
The difference in our worlds that meet
Like blood to rain within our feet
Adding one more thing to my chores
To open up all the house doors
But another pot begins to flow
All’s left undone to moments ago
