Stop Chasing The Sun, It Will Find You
on January 10th, 2012 at 2:38 pmIn the short days of winter
When the sun hides
Barely peeking out from behind
Any tree or building
I watch my cat Chloe

Chloe Waits For The Sun
Chloe not only knows where the sun is
But she knows where it will be
I’ve seen her sit in a shady corner
And I wondered why
A few minutes later she is bathed in sun light
Is that our lesson in patience
To sit still in the peace and quiet of a shadow
And the sun will come to you
Even knowing this
I wonder
Do I want to stop chasing the sun

Dan, your poem is lovely, and so is Chloe. I’ve watched my cats do the same thing, but I’m too impatient. I want my sunny spot now!
