The morning light does crazy things
When it wakes me with a dazzle.
So fast my dream is bleached,
And faster than normal
I am up and off to find the cat
Who patiently awaits me
To release her to her cream.
Simple things she requests
So easy for me to provide,
Open the door to the garden,
Pour some kibbles in her dish,
Brush her fur till it's smooth,
Let her sit beside me
So she can purr with pleasure.
They're all so simple.
I can't help thinking
My life should be like that.

What is it that complicates it so?
