(complete rewrite 9/14/00) As we sit and talk, I see you -and blink, You touch me softly and I am smiling A long blink - eyes closed more than an instant I try to grin my most beguiling As I return your gaze I see You give a most curious look "Why, did you close your eyes like that?" Knowing that I'm an open book I say, "Did you ever notice your cat? Cats, , they do not blink when they fear Moreover as a sign of trust They close their eyes, it's clear" "When you look at them and they close their eyes That you have their love you should know Like when they knead you with their gentle paws And the love continues to grow" As I return your gaze I see A long slow blink then you show me Before your eyes return open A wonderful kiss shared so free. |

Bill--Gosh, I never thought of blinking before...and the cat...how interesting the thought, and how loving the poem. |

Hey, Bill... does this work with uncrossing the arms, too? *veg* I'm glad I caught this poem as it started its long terminal slide toward the last page. back to the top it goes. |
