The Dream
My eyes flutter open,
As I somehow awake.
I cannot see anything,
But one familiar shape.
He reaches out his trusting hand,
And I undoubtedly accept.
My eyes flow up the fur covered arm,
Until they reach a face; where a handsome smile is kept.
I suddenly become weightless,
And my feet ascend from the ground.
He turns away to pose gracefully,
Then unleashes an amazing sound.
The voice of him sooths me so;
As I watch others like him appear,
And slink around carefully;
All filled with such joyful cheer.
Felines trapped in human form,
Create a show so mysterious;
Yet somehow so careful and warm.
As I float above the scene,
The dance; the music fills my heart.
This performance as abnormal as it may seem,
Is truly a work of divine art.
Each actor with painted feline faces,
Release a sweet, tender melody.
Tails swing ever so free,
As they proclaim their unashamed felinity.
Just as quick as it all began,
The mystery came to a loving end.
That one familiar face I saw,
Lead me down as I did descend.
My head fell softly back onto my pillow,
As he wished me a pleasant Goodnight.
Then the grey tabby turned and smiled,
Before vanishing back into the night.
