She Waits

byirishcatsmeow©

Momma paces expectantly
color of orange marmalade
eyes warm as melting butter
she waits

nose twitching
tail held high
ready to pounce
she waits


fluidity of motion
even with sagging belly
maintaining serenity
she waits

looking for safe haven
instincts on full alert
comfort of no consequence
she waits

wisdom crosses her face
generations of experience
etched so finely
she waits

no hoopla or fanfare
a deep breath
delivering her news
she waits no more
