CATS
Triggered as always
By the unknown in many ways
Found peace in pets
In a million years I wouldn't have bet
State of Zen
Just by talking to them
Staying in the present
Their life's biggest present
The cats mere presence
Increased their tolerance
Always benevolent
Now without judgement
A couple of varied interests
Indepth knowledge but no vested interest
Pets now their priority
Everything else secondary
A cat in the Apartment
14 floors from the basement
God making a statement
From then on most relevant
Their destiny tied together
There is no other answer
Why should Booch Wander
Simply following Nature's order
2 more added
With love adopted
Siblings of opposite genders
Injured badly by a sadistic offender
Girl named Meimei
Chinese for Sister
Panda her brother
Brother and Sister now together
Love for animals rights
A matter of Spiritual insight
Lumlum the fourth that lost half its sight
Its plight strengthened their ties
Parents to new born
That's how they views their lot
A lot to learn by observing
They always go only to the deserving
Teacher shows up when student is ready
Cats showed up when life was in quandrary
I can never share their happiness
But I completely understand the passion
They have 8 more lives
Meditative they made life
If the theory of rebirth is true
Theyll come back to them for sure
Passion now turned to devotion
Loving them more than a fellow human
Day to day spent in the presence
Nothing short of a severe penance
One with the self
Self realized
Cats Aiding in the act
Their duty intact
Quest for company
Now an anomaly
The only reality
Peace and tranquility
Day to day transaction
No other option
Reason for existence
Not in the transaction
Living for others
Is real living
To life adds meaning
Soul cleaned and life defining
