Breathing Space.

A place to breathe
To think
To feel
To be.

Reflect, dream, learn.
Remind myself what it is like to be me.
Look at the past
See who I was,
What it meant
What it means.

I look to the future
What would I like to see
And I am planted right now in the middle
In the think
In the noise
The silence
The clamour and pain
In the joy and confusion that flows through my brain
I need headspace
Know my place
at my pace
Breathing Space.

Pets

The pets are taking over,
So everyone be aware.
Right now a dog named Rover
Is sitting in my chair.

The cats are at the table,
It really is a sight.
Even the budgie, Mabel
Has come to join the fight.

The mice are in my bed,
I don't know what to do.
A turtle known as Ted
Is now living in my shoe.

Everything's in chaos,
I'm getting in a state.
I think I heard the rabbit say,
"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late."

With goldfish in the kitchen sink
This is as weird as it gets.
I really don't know what to think,
Except.....pets will be pets!
