A pear-shaped cat contemplates the Winter Solstice
A pear-shaped cat contemplates the Winter Solstice
The shortest of days has come again
Freezing rain and darkness falling
The humans keep a candle burning
To call the sunlight back to earth
Later, they’ll go to bed and dream
Of peace for earth and all its creatures
While I keep watch throughout the night
My eyes refracting paradise.

Blessings be to all critters and their humans!
