Rays of Light...

Before first light turns to morning,
after the stretching and the yawning,
when the day's first cup of tea
sits steaming by my hand...
something slips in almost unnoticed,
certainly unannounced,
on little kitten's feet
moving soundlessly about
This feline is quite friendly,
but always ready to pounce
at the hint of a smile,
at the turn of a phrase
at the shadow of a doubt
as words that send me reeling,
lose myself within their meaning
but it is you, my friends,
who explain my words to me
for i can't see my forest for the trees
planting seeds, these many years,
just to see if the words had roots
perhaps, here lies the proof...
and hidden deep within it all
one small universal truth...
