          .Sleep Together.

 This warm presence nearby
     trusts me enough to
sleep
 at my side.
 Placid, even breaths
 measure the stretches of our time
      together.
 On the crest of slumber, I hear
      his heart,
 a soothing sound, as steady as waves.
 When I, too, sink into the deep
      our dreams will mingle like
      sand and tide,
 the tangled track of our waking days
 Washed blank when spirits
 meet and part
      and bodies rest, touching.

[Written about my cat, but take it as you will.]

Beautiful. Even more so when you said it was your cat you were talking about, and I read it again. Hard to imagine such peace with anything other then a totally zonked kitty.

Lovely.

I can picture you asleep in a chair with a cat on your lap. ^_^

Oh, yes. He was a great one for sleeping on my lap. *nostalgic sigh*
