Felines Of The Forest! Poem by Denis Martindale

The felines of the forest search
Together or alone,
If all at once they feel the urge
To face the great unknown...
They may have walked that path before
Or climbed that tree above
And yet each day they may find more,
Sometimes more than enough...

Yet that's the challenge life presents,
Stay home, stay still, stay safe,
Or venture forth, meet foes or friends
By choosing to be brave...
The felines face their destiny,
Depending on each mood,
It isn't just the scenery
Or hunting for their food...

Sometimes a partner they may find,
A soul mate on the way,
Such that there comes a change of mind,
A longing there to stay...
And who can blame them? No, not I...
Each soul seeks joys that bless,
No longer simply getting by,
When two find happiness...
