A cat called Tombili

 There was a stray cat called Tombili..chubby

In the streets of Istanbul, he roamed. free..

Sitting on a bench,  stretched in exquisite laziness

He would watch the crowds of people in business

He probably wondered why.. why these peeps weren’t as free..

To stop and have a cuddle, a purr , have a moment free

For a being, more cute than sentient being really

He probably figured life better than you and me… actually 

He knew to rest, to observe, to snuggle …to take a cuddle..

To purr for attention, and take a walk when in a muddle

No rules for him, he roamed the night in Miaow might

Ever willing for a scratch, a brawl in streetlight for his lady cat

Or a cardboard box abandoned… maybe would chase a rat

But he knew to live and laze… and be in the now..

Yes , Tombili , he lived better than I do now

 The waves they wash my castle away…. the caved ruins 

I stand by the waves that come and go…my feet dry no more

Whimsical in their yearnings for me and the shore..

And I sit down to build the castle again ..knowing the ruins

For the momentous happiness defeats the disappointment of the dry shore

Truant joy..!
