Solitude

the setting sun slants
amber streaks on the panes
the world holds its breath
and the treetops are still

stillness is a cat
dozing on the window sill
stillness is a lark
free-floating in the breeze
minutes blend together
and the hours are one
when a heartbeat echoes
and silence is profound

a ripple in the pond
a cloud over the sun 
and magic scatters quickly 
as soon as it begun 

the cat saunters off
with a glance and a yawn 
and dusk wanders in
gathering its purple gown
