Cat in the Night


Walking along the fence

in sheer delight

eyes shining in the darkness

a glorious night


The moon and the stars

light the way

movement signals adventure

as the trees sway


Crouching down

moving through the grass

a chase ensues

dinner is a rat


Tail swishing

paws in the stream

lapping up the cool water

then a playful dream


Jumping on a feeder

delicious midnight snack

swirling around the edges

slinging food on the rack


Dogs bark

another chase has begun

thrills in the night

exciting to be able to run


Almost dawn

time to return home

humans will never understand

the joy in being able to roam
