A Stripe of Colors

I noticed a bright ribbon of color resting quietly on the polished floorboards. It came from a small faceted crystal hanging beside the window frame, catching the afternoon sun. I padded over and gently slid my open green book across the wood until the rainbow climbed right over the stitched fabric leaf. Sitting down with my legs tucked out, I placed one soft paw right beside the yellow band. When the crystal swayed in the breeze, the patch of blue and violet slid slowly onto my knuckles. It was a very pleasant thing to watch, sitting there quietly while the colors warmed my paw.
