The Midnight Cat with Silent Eyes
A soft, mysterious poem about the magic and grace of a wandering cat.

Upon the roof in silver light,
A cat appeared in the hush of night.
Its paws were soft, its steps unseen,
A shadow stitched in moonlit sheen.
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
Its eyes, two lamps of molten gold,
Held stories ancient, quiet, bold.
It watched the stars, it watched the street,
A secret world beneath its feet.
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
It moved like smoke, it moved like rain,
With neither hurry, fear, nor chain.
A whisper of freedom, wild and true,
A piece of night the daylight knew.
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
It curled upon a windowโs ledge,
A velvet shape on the gardenโs edge.
And in its purr, so soft, so low,
A thousand dreams began to grow.
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
Oh, silent cat of dusk and dawn,
Where do you go when we are gone?
Do you wander realms we cannot see,
Or guard the souls of mystery?
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
For in your grace, the night survives,
A fleeting spell where magic thrives.
And every gaze, both near and far,
Feels softer when you are the star.
๐บ๏ปฟ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ ๐บ
Would you follow a catโs soft tread,
To the secrets where its silence led?
