9-13-14 with temperatures cool

temperatures cool, cooler than normal
overcast skies and deep inner sighs
rains falling while the soul tries to rest
gentle rhythms of precipitation starting and then stopping
the chill of the lonely bed
warmth missing and the solitary body lies wanting comfort
sheets and comforters give some solace, but the missing
heart, the missing body, the missing embrace and the warmth
from it linger loudly on a bed and room of silence
temperatures cool, cooler than normal
and the man lays alone

and now there is an early taste of fall
was a nice change with the chill this morning
waking to a cold bed slightly shivering
no warm body to snuggle up to
to embrace, to hug, to feel
the illness although mostly gone slightly lingers in the
form of coughing and congestion
i feel ok though
well now, let's see, the wasps are nowhere to be seen
because of the rain they've gone dormant
the girl cats sits up on top of the television set
she's in the observation state of being
of course cats always are in this state
the boy cat is eating from the sounds of it
i can hear the crunch of the cat food
disturbed sleep lately, not much in the sleep dream area
my guess is due to the illness that now wanes from my body
the beauty of the body's immune system
i miss the warmth, i miss the comfort and safe feeling.
i miss you.
the mind wages war on the tomorrow
focusing on the now and remembering the dreams and
memories of the past. the dreams of heaven.
i wage on, i war on, i dream still
