I wander through the house

It’s 2am

It’s early

Even for me

I wander

Through the house

Looking for what

I know not

In years gone by

I would have reached

Over and touched

Your sleeping form

Felt your warmth

Gone back to sleep

Today I wander

Through the house

Still looking for what

I know not

I open the door

I let the dog out

I walk outside

The moon is full tonight

The yard is lit

From the moon’s glow

Tonight I wander

Through the yard

Still looking for what

I know not

I go back in

And try to get some sleep

Curled up next to the dog

Who’s snoring by the way

Just not as bad as you

My mind wanders

Through our life

Still looking for what

I know not

I smile and realize

I miss the things

That you did well and

Things that annoyed me too

I smile at that

My mind wanders

Through our life

Finding comfort

In what I know.
