The Cat and The Pen

I am trying to write some
Pretty or profound thing
When the cat paws at my pen.
I give it to him to play with.
He is happy when he knocks it over,
Pushes it with curiosity on the carpet.
It is then I realise
That this pause on the page, 

The action that stopped my writing,
Is the pretty and profound moment
I want to write about.
