Awoken By a Bird Song

The dawn chorus

Amazing how loud

black and white fur ball jumps on the bed

strong purr of love and nudge with her head

The cacophony is louder 04:46 

not ready for the day, will I fall back

The sound of a Car passing interrupts

Such variety of song, a true battle

Notice me, choose me, desire to be heard

I stay in my bed, not wanting to rise

Their song is now muted, distant

more cars now than birds

The day has begun
