There's a Cheshire Cat in the sky
Did you know?
One night I see the glimmer of his half open eye
Peeping in through the curtains by my bed.
I think he's sleepy too.
Another night
He looks surprised
That I am still awake
His eye is as round as a flashlight beam.
And some nights I can only see the shadow
As he disappears completely
On some cat errand of his own.
But my favorite nights are the ones when
Looking up I can see
A sliver of smile.
And I push back the curtain
And fall asleep
Happy in the glow of his thin cat grin.
