Garden Territory
Soft paws patter
down garden path
stopping at back door-
clawing on straw mat
and motioning
up and down
'making puddings'
a place to sit and gaze....
awaiting owner's return-
watching nature's
wild ways
spanning ancient days.
A bird twitters on lawn
oblivious of watching beams.
A mouse scampers
through grass
taking cover under house.
Green eyes
scan garden fence
as dark slits narrow
in brightening sunlight
moving high above.
Light catches fur
as movement brings stillness
to territory
hemmed-in by boundaries.
Beauty deepens love
when kingdoms grow
and live and die
beyond the garden wall
where sunflowers grow tall.
