This poem came to me shortly after 3:30 a.m. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

He’s Just Purring

if you’re tossing and turning
because the rumble is unceasing

if the decibels are far beyond
the depths of one’s believing

if your bed of roses trembles
from the thunder through his nose
and the sleeplessness reaches
from your head down to your toes

perhaps you’ll find some rest
with a change of attitude
“he’s just purring” in your love nest
like a cat who’s fully sated
on his favorite food

©April 15, 2003

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
