The Cosmic Cat Adopted Sandra

The Cosmic Cat Adopted Sandra

35


Sandra Lee grew up
On a farm in Eagle Point
In Southern Oregon,

The cosmic cat was a
Smoky grey and white
feral cat.

The leader of a band
Of several feral cats
Found in barns on farms.

The cosmic cat
Approach as if to bite

The cosmic cat looking at her
With the feral cat’s fear of humans
In her deep, penetrating eyes.

She spoke with the cat
Who communicated with her
Telegraphically.

Once she was sure
She was a friendly human
The cosmic cat allowed Sandra
To pick her up.

Sandra Held closely in her arms
the cosmic cat.

The cosmic cat adopted Sandra
Becoming Sandra’s constant companion
For many years.

The cosmic cat knew things
Because he was a cosmic cat
Tuned into the universe

As he meditated every day
Teaching Sandra
Her cosmic secrets.
