Rio

Rio the cat, sits in my lap
paws on desk as I type
paws reaching out, out to keys

Cats can’t type
He doesn’t care
Not this cat

Just seeking connection
like everyone else
Following leads:
knowing hands
are the connection

Just reach out as I do
in reality, not electronically
A lesson to be learn
from my cat

To reach out
Is to touch
In reality

Personal Thoughts About the Poem

We can learn so much by just paying attention to the wisdom of life itself.
To be alive is to reach out.
