The Ultimate State of Mind

 
Sinuous black velvet, mercurial, fearless…
Green eyes like small saucers
miss nothing.

What more could you wish for
than to be worn like a shawl,
caressed, loved, cared for?
You careen wall to wall
up and down steps, catching
your shadow, your tail, your destiny.

Your purrs remind me 
how unconditional love feels.
