A Black Cat

I met a mysterious black cat
He glanced at me briefly
before running off into the shadows
I wonder where he came from

The curiousity is captivating
Sometimes a bit overwhelming
I wonder where the cat is going

He’s a black cat
Full of secrets
Only sharing them with a select few
I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to know them

I met a black cat
I wanted to say “hi”
But didn’t want to scare him away
So I act like I didn’t see him

He’s a mysterious black cat
Who turned around to glance at me
Before running off into the shadows
Where he lives among the trees
