The day was hot and sultry The air was damp and still The savage beast With claws unsheathed Moved swiftly for the kill The wind was raised in whisper The birdcalls ceased to trill The victim there Though unaware Was certain of the ill The sun it shone in gleaming Above the treetops tall The prey had moved By silence proved Escaped the captors thrall The day was hot and sultry And sweat was trapped in fall As captor's prey Moved swift that day And lost the flight in stall With fluttered wing of wandering Made brighter by the day The victim there Who did not care Then swiftly flew away The predator distaining Inclined his head away The game was done He'd had his fun The hunter lost the prey The day was hot and sultry As wings flew far from earth On coloured wing Flies freedom's ring While kitten showed his worth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Keth darling sister of my heart, and my soul’s voice, this was and is utterly utterly perfect. I truly was captivated by this and the ending was utterly perfect. You know I love this don’t you darling mmmm of course you do. You mix sunlight and shadow so well I’m always awed by your skill. As for the rhythm of this and its form it is absolutely fabulous Anyway this is another utterly utterly perfectly penned poem from you and I absolutely love it. Thank you for lifting the gloom and muddle that so often clouds the night, truly exceptional. And adding life to my life As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
