Soft Paw Hours

 A L O H A  From

Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time. Katrina Mayer






There is no harm in
doing no harm to others. Gift Gugu Mona


Observe the wonders as
they occur around you. 
Don’t claim them. Feel the
artistry moving through 
and be silent.
Rumi

In The Soft Paw Hours
In the quiet hours
When all the shadows yawn
kitty brings the morning 
Another life at dawn.

She senses my timidity 
Hidden away from sight
Catalogs my dreams
Still scented with the night.

There's mystery about her, 
Whispered tales of ours
Of escapades at midnight, 
Chasing fireflies and stars.

Wisdom on the wind
That only she can hear
Songs more ancient
Than the world
Tickling her ear.

Cherish your cat
And the secrets she keeps
In the quiet hours
She guards you
While you sleep.

I shall give my cat extra attention today in Pixie's honor.

Loved Pixie's nighttime guardian poem. Soft paws. At one time my cats decided nighttime was kitty Olympics time, racing up and down the hallway and leaving the rugs all askew!

Dear Cloudia,
Pixie really looks like she's keeping a lot of secrets. That's just how cats should be. We now have a gentle little fellow named Chiller living in our house again 😊. (And our guest cat Samia still comes to visit.)
Beautiful poem, sayings and photos!
All the best, Traude
