The Shadow of the Tree

I pushed the screen door out of my way
My cat greets me as he does everyday
A unique meow
He found
I felt his greasy fur move across my palm
As I felt the winds calm
I swiftly stepped down the stairs
As he follows in his pace
I went farther into the yard
Where a tree wasn’t that far
The pattern of leaves marked the ground
It their scattered shadows went all around
I leveled my back onto the grass
As I stared into the sunlight like a window’s glass
The cat joined me
As I enjoyed the shadows of the tree
