Vigil

Blog 244:

She calmly sits at her favorite sofa
Paws comfortably spread out
And head facing the window
Her eyes begin to shut slowly
But she fights to keep them open
At intervals, she watches … and pauses
Until she notes a movement in or out
Of her environs … her sanctuary …
She keeps a vigilant watch
For intruders or her Master’s return
So she could again feel excited
And safe in his arms!
