Christian Cats – v2

Feline counselors, therapists

Christian cats, ministering to my disquiet

helping me study the scripture,

between the petting, the purring

bringing calm to my day

Feline companions, confidants

giving me peace, focus, a calming,

sitting on the couch, sipping my tea

gifting me with words to share

these Christian cats, in my lap

In a Beam

Laying down, melted
stretched out, draped
atop the cool radiator
in a beam of light
his orange fur aglow
Drinking in the warmth
a quiet spot awash
golden sun of autumn
pouring over him

A Single Ember

Like a single ember
growing cold, dark
left alone, outside the fire
So was the brother,
one of the cats of the house
alone in my client chair
waiting for his brother’s return
to share their warmth;
two embers far better than one.

Brotherly Love

even in the heat
seeking him out
finding him there
leaning on his brother
nestled together
sleeping peacefully
in brotherly love.

Much we can learn
seeking out our brother,
our sister, our neighbors
leaning on each other
our way more peaceful
easier, living
in brotherly love.

Larry and Moe,
late August afternoon

They were in my office window. Were they looking for clients?

Kittens - by Erica M. Berberena

Kittens

Kitten kittens everywhere
Jumping running in the chairs,
They're loving, caring and sweet as well,
that's why we think they're so swell.

Erica Berberena
9/20/08
Larry and Mario had been
in my room with me, going
wild and being loving as
well.

Fishing for Fiona

A white young paw, an orange tiger arm
reaching, squeezed, under the bedroom door
resting on the pile carpet, gently
individual claws, his fingers, panting at the air
kneading instinctively
as he did with his mother’s belly
Like an angler, fishing for Fiona
calling her from her nap, to play
reaching, enticing her for a game

She watched, ears perked, from her perch
high above, on the comforter
mattress, brass bed
shades still drawn, muted light
her eyes, her head moves, in time,
with his paw, jerky staccato
as if held by his hook, string
She was caught, momentarily, only;
but never reeled in;
spell broken by her yawn,
the call of sleep.

Larry and Fiona,
two of our four kittens
