Poem

MY CATS

By Luis M. Mendez

Beautifully spoiled creatures

Companions in moments of solitude

I try to learn from their

silent lessons.

Cats can be very enjoyable creatures

Creatures of silence, egotistical,

at time selfish, most of the time cuddly

lovable cats,

There is no "heel!" or "stay!"

in their vocabulary

In silence that's transcendental

and pivotal in every moment of

their lives, they will let you know

what is agreeable to them!

Whatever I am I become whatever

They want!

My life, not perfection...Silence

Uncommon and uncanny my cats

deliver more than what I give them!

Exercise for us is a drug

for my cats, exercise is a quiet, lazy

Summer afternoon or winter or morning...

How much they can teach with their...

SILENCE!

These two poems have "silence" as a central theme, the one we follow because of the dictates of our condition and the other we learn from those beautiful creatures called "cats".

To my beautiful Lola and Flora, for their company, love and...silence!
