Pursuit
Patience and silence are underrated.
If you find what matters, employ
them both to pursue it.
Pad silent—a cat, cleverly intent
on playmate or prey
no eye for clocks.
Be dumbstruck as heliotrope, its days
spent tracking sun’s stunning
ride across the sky.

Nancy, what a beautiful poem! Stunning ending stanza!
Each stanza is stronger than the one that preceded it.
That ending stanza–“Be dumbstruck as heliotrope” really hit me.
You really hit the universal tuning fork with this poem.
🧡
Yes. “Be dumbstruck as heliotrope,”
Such wisdom. Love:
Pad silent—a cat, cleverly intent
on playmate or prey
no eye for clocks.
