A restless mind

Dog at my feet
Cat is her own master
Light shines in from the street
Dreams come slow, then a little faster.

Breathing deep
So close to sleep
Dog snores ebb and flow
Cat purrs while chasing shadows

The day drifts in and out
Building noises dance about
My morning laughter lingers
A scratch, a collar jingles

Mind racing, can’t seem to stop
Just as suddenly, the curtain drops
