Photography / People & Portraits / Expressive

A cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold
And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl
Thought,
"Nobody hears me! Nobody hears me!
As I crept in so soft
And nobody sees me! Nobody sees me!"
As I watched six steps off

Like peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo
Who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do
Saying,
"No one can stop me! No one can stop me!
No one clips my claws.
Now everyone watch me! Everyone watch me
scale these outside walls!"

Oh you, pious and profane
Put away your praise and blame
Said, "A glass can only spill what it contains"
To the perpetually plain, the incurably inane
A glass can only spill what it contains

What new mystery is this?
What blessed backwardness?
The Immeasurable One is held and does not resist!
Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men
The Almighty One does not defend

I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knows
We're like children dressing in our parents' clothes
Saying,
"Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.
No one knows my name.
Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.
No, nobody knows me."

I half-heartedly explained
But gave up peacefully ashamed
A glass can only spill what it contains
We went to Portugal and Spain
And in her mind the entire time it rained
A glass can only spill what it contains

What new mystery is this?
In overflowing emptiness
The Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist
Before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time
The Unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply

What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
What new mystery is this?
"My Rabbi!"
My lips betray with a kiss
What new mystery is this?

Beautiful blend of colours.
I love how you describe the kitty.
"And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl

And nobody sees me! Nobody sees me!"

Wonderful pictures - I'm a huge cat lover - and the poem just blew me away.

~meadowkite Aug 14, 2009

thanks so much! it's actually lyrics to a band called mewithoutyou, their lyrics are genius.

~louistherogue Aug 15, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You're very welcome. The picture really is adorable. I need to post one of my cat sometime, come to think of it. They really are incredible at posing just right to look cool most of the time, aren't they?

~arcuate Aug 4, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is so lovely. The colors are so dreamy, and I love how the kitty's creamy markings blend into the glow of the whiskers.

~shmac Aug 2, 2009
