MANY GENERATIONS AGO
INTO THE LIGHT WORLD
A MAGNIFICENT VISION
WAS SEEN BY ONLY A FEW
A FEW WORTHY OF BEARING
WITNESS TO THE FELINE GODDESS
WHOSE BEAUTY WAS SO ETHREAL
NO OTHER CREATURE POSSESSED SUCH GRACE
YOU FIND YOURSELF LITERALLY TRANSFIXED
BUT YOUR EYES QUICKLY LOWER TO THE GROUND
BEFORE SHE CAN NOTICE YOU STARING
WHICH WOULD BE MUCH TOO VULGAR A DISPLAY
FOR THE CAT SPIRIT IS PROUD OF HER LINIAGE
DESCENDED FROM BEAUTIFUL AFRICAN WILDCATS
THAT STILL ROAM THROUGHOUT THE JUNGLES
WITH A TOUCH OF DIVINE MADNESS
JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE
TABBIES ARE LIKE ONE'S VERY OWN LITTLE TIGERS
STALKING AND POUNCING AND LEAPING FREESTYLE
WITH NO RESTRICTIONS OR BOUNDARIES SET UPON THEM
MY DREAMS ARE HAUNTED BY THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATURE
I FEEL HER MIXING WITHIN MY SOUL AND FLOWERING
READY TO TAKE HER PLACE BY MY SIDE
AS IF SHE HAS AWAYS BEEN THERE
