Nap

A nap revives
Tired spirits,
Rest allows us
Rejuvenation,
To lie back
Dozing or
Reading
Relaxes both
Mind and body.
She is peaceful
In repose,
Away from the
Demands of
Modern living,
Confusing paperwork
Technical stresses.
We are
Snug and safe
As a squirrel in
A tree home well
Stocked with
Winter nuts,
Books to be read.
I give her time
Alone for us both,
Aware of how
Valuable solitude
Is to each of us.
Though I love
Being with her
We each need
Our own space
To breathe and
Peruse once or
Twice a day.
We understand
Loneliness has
Brought us together
But value our
Personal privacy
Both at the same
Time if not always
In the same room.
