When evening resumes
And the play of clouds and the light of the moon come together
From high in His heaven God is amused
By the friskiness of a cat chasing its shadow
It bounces
And pounces
And acrobatically leaps
Landing with ease
On its tiny snow capped
Feet
It chases its shadow
Around and around
Pawing at it
As it reflects on the ground
Till upon its tail and between its ears
Finally daylight appears
And quietly it creeps
To find
A cat and its shadow
Curled in a ball, Purring,
Fast asleep

When evening resumes
And the play of clouds and the light of the moon come together
From high in His heaven God is amused
By the friskiness of a cat chasing its shadow
It bounces
And pounces
And acrobatically leaps
Landing with ease
On its tiny snow capped
Feet
It chases its shadow
Around and around
Pawing at it
As it reflects on the ground
Till upon its tail and between its ears
Finally daylight appears
And quietly it creeps
To find
A cat and its shadow
Curled in a ball, Purring,
Fast asleep
