Natural Survivor
C By Brad Corallo
Word count 149

Snow begins to fall 
silently on distant hills. 
in time blanketing the 
lower Lands of the valley. 

As the other worldly wind begins,  
the local inhabitants 
move to whatever warm space they can find. 

an underfed, striped grey 
feral tabby 
glides along his solitary way, 
to his makeshift winter refuge. 

A wind protected pile
of warmed, dry leaves
in the angle where
the brick chimney embraces the 
outer, rear wall of the rustic cottage. 

He curls himself into
a tight furry ball,
securely Burrowed into the warm leaf nest. 

He sleeps deeply!
He knows that,
when the snow ceases to fall
and the sun returns
All will venture out for food. 
More than enough opportunity
for a stealthy, patient hunter.

He settles even deeper into sleep 
There is no fear or doubt 
instinct and experience prevail
He will live to
 hunt another day.
