"Oriental Cat IV"
Chen Dehong, Chinese Artist, 1936-

Gatito
by Craig Howell

Drifting, drawn
To silent spaces
Next to a goddess,
Beside a shadow.
Under the bed,
A world to see
In the dark.
Intense, attentive soul,
Buddha eyes nearly closed,
Sensing every dimension

Nothing to do but go,
Follow,
Flowing with the dream,
Loving every sensation,
Knowing every niche.
Rolling slowly,
Turning with the earth,
The world.
Contentment
In the moment

A sunny window.
A perfect fit
Inside the sill.
Slowly caressing
Perfect fur.
Watch the exploding silver dandelions
Zigzag in the summer breeze,
Transforming into visions
Of birds and dragonflies.
