Sleeping like a baby

He’s coming in at night more and more, he’s finding comfort and warmth. My cats are being tolerant (probably because they were rescue cats where there were twenty cats in the house). They sniff each other and then find somewhere to rest. This cat stays in longer ever night, we are his safe space. After an hour or two he goes to the back door and yowls, asks to be released. One day he might stay the whole night, but I understand he wants his freedom. In the meantime I’m getting him flea and worming treatments so he doesn’t pass anything on to my two. I’m glad he’s befriended us. X

Goodnight

Cats have eaten

Ones gone out

He likes outside

Too much

The others curl

In warmth

By radiators

Or next to heaters

Feeling the warmth

Bedtime

Check the doors

Lock the windows

Turn out the lights

Sleep under these eaves

Rest and refresh

Goodnight all.

Quiet rest

Today I walked 4.3 miles, not far, but part of it was up one of the steepest hills in Stoke-on-Trent. I’m trying to get fitter, and lose a few more pounds in the meantime. We stopped off at a local pub in Hartshill and had half of lime and soda water. The beer garden would have been quiet except for the traffic being heavier today than it has been for ages. I tried to talk to my walking partner, but I’m too slow and I’m also trying to keep to social distancing, so I enede up having to shout a bit, then every time I spoke another car came past so I repeated myself a lot. Well I’m not a great walker, but I did OK. My legs were wobbling by the time we got back. Highlights were seeing five or six bees feeding on Japanese Anemone plants. Sadly no photo unless my friend sends me a copy of hers.

Is it time?

Is it time?

Is it time to sleep?

To rest

and dream

or fear

with nightmare?

Is it time

you walk through the dark

no light on show.

Up the stairs

through the bedroom door,

ready to sleep,

wake no more

till dawning light

pierces your eyes

awake again

no more to lie.

No sleep,

wake fast

it’s time.

Goodnight.

Sleep

I must sleep

I must dream

Stay calm

Lay softly

Feel relaxed

Breathing deeply

Taking time

To rest quietly.

I must sleep

I need rest

I must find my dreamworld.

Will I rest

Or will it be another sleepless night?

I lie counting sheep.

Floral display

Back yard play

Never forget

Flowers are the best

To give me rest

To lift my mood

When the day is done.

To smell sweet scents

And heady airs.

Glorious colours

Melding together

Brightening my day.

Giving me calm.

One is excited

Running around,

the other, up

on the cupboard,

paws stretched.

Oh to be a cat,

relax when you want,

sleep, chase.

Rest, sleep again.

Eat, feast, taste, drink,

sleep….

stretch, yawn, play…

adventures in dreams.

Half of beer.

Just to sit

at a table,

half of beer,

in my hand,

a quiet river,

flowing by.

A dream of freedom,

no distractions,

quiet and relaxing

time to rest.

No stress no worries,

just a dream,

the world passing

slowly leaving

me behind.

Tomorrow is another day

I will wait for the sun to rise and try and think of tomorrow as a new day, a different day.

I’m thinking about what I need to do, trying not to prevaricate, not to stick my head in the sand. In this time of lockdown it’s almost too easy to turn and face the wall and not let the world invade. So I shall sleep and try not to wake too early.

I hope that everyone out there in the big world is OK. Safe, as happy as they can be. Look after yourselves.

The door is shut

The night is here

I wish my mind could rest.

Tired and tense

Jaw clenched.

Can’t wait till dawn,

To sleep tonight,

To relax and chill

What I would give

For no thrill.

No disturbed thoughts,

No worries.

Just

Sleep…
