Chasing The Sun

Sun enters through the skylight,

Creating a golden pool that 

steadily moves eastward as the sun moves westward.

Senior pets delight in its warm presence.

Today’s goal, like the goal of many sunny days, 

is to follow its travels across the wooden floor. 

One kitty captures the sun puddle, 

invited to snooze by the warmth 

that spreads throughout his lazy bones.

But the sun is an inconstant friend.

It continues its adventures, and he wakes alone.

He is forced to relocate to the next sun 

puddle only to again be abandoned.

The chase continues until he gives up

In favor of a cuddle puddle with his sister on the 

immovable sunroom couch. 

The kitties enjoy this gentle serenity together,

Eyes closed, softly snoring,

Another happy day being a cat.
