I sit quietly in my
chair
With the sounds
of silence in my ears
The stove light
is left on
As a guide
For the sleepy
travelers
As they make them
way to the bathroom
The cat wanders
through the house
His curiosity
Lead him into
every corner
An unfamiliar
sounds come from the other room
Is it a night stalker?
Is it the
bogeyman?
Or an evil creature
from my dreams
But it is not
It's only my
mother and father
Snoring in
harmony
