Sleepless Midnight Symphony

The midnight silence heard only on sleepless nights

Twines sinuously with the constant whirr of the ceiling fan

Stirring the night air into unrest.

Gently and softly, the slow inhale and exhale introduces a percussive cadence.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Faintly, in the distance,

The metallic clink of cats' tags meeting food dish.

A whimsical touch.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Clink.

Exhale.

Now the inhalation takes on a hint of a snoring trill.

Overhead, a plane flies beneath the clouds

Creating a rumble of false thunder.

Inhale - trill.

Exhale.

Rumble.

Clink.

Inhale - trill.

Exhale.

Clink.

Rumble.

Sleeping kitty breathe adds

The barest hint of syncopation

To the rhythm of the night.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale . . . inhale.

Exhale.

Clink

Inhale.

Inhale. . . . Exhale.

A car engine roars unexpectedly to life.

Sports car power.

Revs.

Revs.

Revs.

Then zooms into action!

Seemingly endless zooming.

Zooming.

Zooming.

Zooming.

Fading into the distance

sdgfh

Only to appear again with surprising strength

Zooming.

Zooming.

Zooming.

Momentarily before finally disappearing

Beneath

Inhale.

Exhale. . . inhale.

Inhale.

Clink

Exhale.

The sleepless midnight symphony continues.

The listener wondering when the deep rumble

Of allergy induced snoring will enter the mix.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Clink.

Inhale. . . inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Clink.

Exhale . . .
