The cat has whorled itself on the duvet
Burying its head into its fluffy tail
Losing its nose in a quiet smile
And its body in a rhythmic sleep -
In that sweet-spot antithesis beyond
Fight and flight that constitutes comfort.
Last night you dressed in fantasy
With high heels and a schoolgirl tartan
Skirt and a pretty, white-lace shirt
And a new pair of white knickers -
Inside-out in error as the label disclosed -
And now I fear no evil as it comforts me.
Blessed be the God of all comfort
‘Comfort, Yes comfort My People'
[And cats] says the Lord - that we who have
Patience and comfort might have hope -
That those who mourn shall be comforted -
And that those who comfort will dwell
In goodness and mercy in the House of the Lord forever.
Blessed be the God of all comfort motivates mind amazingly. In goodness and mercy in the House of the Lord forever we love to dwell in love and peace. Brilliant and expressive poem is beautifully presented.10

Cats are cosy little creatures, are they not? A sweet (and comforting!) poem :)
