All Through Seeing

feeding the white cat. in darkness. the morning starts. way too early. again. still, waking. chilly. i know. the animals. will be watching. for me. the dog waggling. her excitement. clearly. i slip. into warmer clothing. beyond a morning meal. the dog’s tail. continues to wag. in silence. the cat walks. regally toward me. with clear intention. settling to the moment. i find. the serenity. to write.
