7 - The Lion Sleeps to Night

For Ketjap ... 20-2-2013 - 6-11-2014



Little cat, in a distant sky
Where mice are friends and bluebirds fly,
Where pain is forgotten and you can pass
With leaping grace over green, green grass;
Little cat, will you catch a star
And wonder, a moment, where you are?

Little cat, in a distant land
Where nothing can harm you as you stand
And gaze at the clouds, so pure, so white;
And all is glad with a fresh delight,
Little cat, in your newborn years,
Will you spare a thought for my falling tears?

(Melody Collier)

Looking at your image makes me see the eyes of my own late cats. I feel your loss and thank you for this beautiful poem.

I'm so sad for you. I lost my little cat Dusty last month and I was devastated. I have tears now.

This is horribly sad news. I am so, so sorry. It makes me give all my cats an extra hug.

Oh Maaike - I am so sorry. I understand how upset you must be feeling. It is so sad losing your friend so suddenly like that.
Love the poem and your music...
