TWO TOGETHER

"Most fascinating is the love of nature. Her secret is patience..." -Imran Shaikh
Of course, if you are a magnificent gold cat, called Patience, then it is no secret. 
He watches and he waits when the Stellar Jays zoom in. 

Like clockwork. Two together.

They always come together. At first one came.,calling to the other
 t
Under  a smoky sun.
Under  mist and fog.
By the early morning sun. 
Scolding. Squabbling. Dancing.
Then perch on the bird bath. And listen ......and listen.
"Not the beauty the eyes can see, the beauty the soul can feel..." -Waseem bhat
Two together. Each and every day.
Always content to just be. Or scream at  nothing.
Though I fancy one of them is always saying:

  "Yes, Dear" or "No, dear" or "Whatever you wish, dear"

The other always waits while the other is on the lookout.
Hopping around like blue marionettes, they ask for more peanuts.Looking longingly at the seed pan, full of sunflower seeds, but empty of peanuts.
Sitting beside one another. Two together.Watching  for cats, I believe. Or  hoping I will  come out with more  peanuts.
Grabbing and swooping. Peanuts fall.  They dive in.
 Dancing on the bird bath. Waiting for the daily ritual to begin. Again and again.
They never tire. Those two. Steadfast. Beautiful. And before it's even dawn, each morning, I find them waiting , in the shadows of the tree. Waiting two together.........
"Take time to observe the simple and ponder upon the seemingly insignificant. you'll find a wealth of depth and beauty..." -Melanie Charlene
