Lunch Deterred

Black cat, predator
Salivating
With the thought
Of a bird for lunch
A backyard feast
Interrupted by my
Presence
We look at each other
No sound was made
Intelligent cat he
Decided to return
Another day!

Sometimes in a hurry to get old
sometimes trying to catch gold
before the hot trail goes cold

Sometimes in a hurry for the City
Sometimes lusting for the night life and the bright City lights

And then wanting to slow time
and wishing for peace sublime
Then wanting to leave the bustle
and hear the country leaves rustle
