Things that go bump in the night!

It is 2 am…
I’m not asleep!
I hear an echo,
the floor boards
creak…
Footsteps
coming
down the hall,
I lie frozen,
afraid
to call…..
I strain my ears
to hear a sound,
late at night,
shadows resound…
In pitch dark,
the moon
is gone…
Sleepless imaginings
I feel alarm..
It’s getting closer,
I feel
a presence..
visitations
of a
murky menace….
Just before
I rise from the bed,
sounds of purring
near my head!
It’s the
CAT
cuddling close!
Relieved…
I fall back
into a doze…
I dream of silhouettes and flying things
and before I know it
the alarm clock rings…
