Busy All Night Long
Non Stop All Day
Cleaning up our yard
Before winter strikes
Heavy rain hits the area
Falling leaves everywhere
Hours later
Darkness forces me to come in
Not a moments rest
On the computer trying to find inner turmoil
Body aching
Watching television for a distraction
Immediately submersed in a world filled with action
All clean after a shower
Two Aleve later
I constantly find my thoughts crossing the line
From reading stories and writing mine
Indulging in two yogurts at one time
Cranberry juice and a great Gala apple
So crisp devoured almost entirely
Leaving one small piece
Called the core left behind
The rain hypnotic and powerful
Drowns my sorrows and entices me to a deep sleep
Refreshed I try again to gain my composure
Watching our cat kneading her way
Through the blanket
As her claws sink into my legs
Stretching out now exhausted from a long day
Curls in a ball
Lays where ever her body falls
To a beautiful deep sleep
