night currents, liquid moon spilled over slumbering swells, drifting without direction in vast rhythm a breaking white noise birdsong clearing the mists the smell of morning earth Lifting my head, I see everyone has made the night's journey four-year old with half the bed. Wife and I cling to the remainder. Cats and dog adorn head and feet. The only casualty? an arm still roped to the rough-hewn logs of sleep I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles |

Whoa!!! What memories, what memories you invoke in your chosen words. Mine are grown up now, and have four year olds of their own, and much older. And yes, my animals used to share my somnombulant reverie, until SunnyOne came into my life, and insisted that my babies should sleep elsewhere (but she loves them as much, if not more than me)!!!. You are obviously an animal lover, and I think you will find interest if you click on the 'little house' at the top of this post and have a look at my pets!!! Beautifully written and well chosen words. Thank you. John Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. |

Oh yes, the family bed, it's amazing how every one, including the livestock, vie for an extra square inch. The Alpha Male in such a pack usually loses out. Much amused, I'm laughing with you. ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do...provided it's done in private and you wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |
