evening chore
graduation cheesecake
for friend's daughter

silent night
keeping kitties from my room
filled with white noise

after work
trying to summon energy
for the chores

hump day
trying to find energy
to finish paperwork

all night long
outside the door
cats crying

letting the cats in
kitty federation wrestling
under the bed

that kind of week-
comfort foods for dinner
and lots of snacks

mid afternoon-
finding today's breakfast
in my knapsack

morning ride
true worship for a few minutes
storming the heavenlies

in the morning
my body reminds me
it is aging

after some rest
enjoying the new garden beds
lighter on my feet

morning commute-
enjoying the grass's green
and the birds' singning

no sleep kind of night
me and kitties toss and turn
watching the sun rise

feeling icky
longing to go be in the bed
with a great read

coming in late
doing chores to clear my head
and create some calm

no sleep kind of night-
doing sudokus
and kitties purring

thinking to myself
and the last few days at work
Daddy would be proud
