not even a snore

slept through the night
not disturbed
not even
a snore
broke in

surprised
by
the jingle
of the alarm
rarely heard
usually
up long before

between pelvic floor
and snore
full nights
rare

like being young again
when children beckoned
now
the empty nest
no nightly silence

but nice to know
that a lovely day
better than
all the concoctions
whipped up
by pharmacists

Nothing better than a good nights sleep. Our little one still gets up sometimes, but that is good, too.
