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
