Serenity in the midst of chaos...





  It's late on a 
     Monday night
& I'm laying
    here stroking 
the one and only 
    cat in the world
that I'm not allergic to... 


  In the dark
       of night
on a back deck
    previously foreign
to me...

   My ears take 
      in 
         the sounds
   of the city...

train whistles
       echoing into the
night;

        the sound of 
cars on the highway
    close by...

dogs barking in 
       the distance;

   a door
         creaking
in the wind...


Across 
      tree & roof tops, 

I can see the city 
        lights
           glowing
in the distance... 


  Above, 
     clouds are passing
slowly over me,

          making way
for the stars high
    above

sparkling with brilliance 
      in the night...


   I see Orion
beaming bright
       &
          bold
as ever... 

     watching over 
         me
in the darkness... 

   the wind
wraps itself
       around my body
  giving me
          chills... 

as I stare into the
    night... 


Serenity
  
      in the midst 
  
              of chaos...
