An older cat contemplates life through haikus.
Meditation

warm sun filters in
through chinks in bamboo basket-
butterfly flies by.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Old Cat

Today she walks slowly,
Nods graciously to her friends,
Then takes a long nap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn

warm fires time is here-
I sleep curled up on the hearth
leaves tap on windows

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mice

tiny little feet
pitter patter through my dreams -
in youth I chased them

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lament

Many of my friends
have walked across the Rainbow -
They wait for me there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
