feelings

Fear

Caterwauls his need to feel safe.

His paws on the windowsill

Knock on the glass to escape the smoke and explosions.

The worry of danger, the unknown.

Desire

Pushes it paws at a confining window,

Switches its tail in impatience;

Intent on being outside in the grasses,

He resignedly awaits his chance.

Content

To carry the Water to a lavender garden,

To glide across the water's surface,

To careen down water's freefall:

Pleasure.
