Poem; Nature

Last night was awful.

I couldn’t sleep.

One part was anxiety.

The other, my cat.

At one point I was feeling so hot.

And decide to open the window.

This is when I truly became aware of all the nocturnal life.

I knew about it but never really paid attention to it.

The birds.

The bats.

The rodents.

 The insects.

All of them creating so much noise through their activities.

There is life out there that disappears when daytime comes.

It dawned on me that the planet never sleeps.

But rather hosts two different type of species.

The daytime and nocturnal ones.

 

Peace and serenity
