Lights dim,

Eyes drowsy.

Still and tiring aches

Take over many a limb.

Our minds slip away— lousy.

The minds twists our life

Into hidden meaning,

Odd what comes about

But that’s how our head gets

A good inside cleaning.

Running though still,

Falling though stayed

With head resting on pillow fluffed

And our mind in a river of thoughts it wades.

The blanket so warm

And toes exposed cower in fear

Of the cold

That the night rears.

A cursed beeping sound

Makes you rise again

From your rest

And nothing but coffee makes you

Feel your best.

The cozy nest is abandoned

For another time, another day.

Writing, animals, food and music— makes for a perfect day… 😁 I am bringing pieces of me and my heart to the page that I don’t show elsewhere, my good side and my bad sides— hope all my sides are good stories to tell. Enjoy!!
