I borrowed the " puppet cat " phrase from a song my friend wrote... it made such a picture in my mind..and left to simmer then to boil, a little poem did I find..without much sweat or toil...ee gads..i am even ryhming in the intros now...my apologies...

have you seen the puppet cat??
as she dances on her strings?
as her master's darkling call
in her deep mind sings?

" Dance mine puppet katze!"
" Dance for only me! "
" Make me smile for a time. "
" and mayhaps I'll set you free. "

she doesn't hear the last line now
it only brings that hard cold pain
the one that comes when hope is killed
that numbs both heart and brain

what could you give the puppet cat?
what could set her free to sing?
I would snap those sharp cruels strings
and gift her soul with wings

I search still now for that blessed blade
that would sever her master's cords
and i pray still now, for her bound up soul
every time her master sings

Solstice, not bad at all. Freedom is one of our greatest treasures that many cannot behold.

thank you little girl  ....the creulest form of slavery is always of the soul...

its also the easiest to overlook...
and harder still to ransom out of bondage...

but I don't give up that easily
