    Mystery Visitors

    I can hear inside my walls at night
    scratching made a little creatures
    I hope they're small and cute
    not dangerous with scarry features

    Perhaps they are white-footed mice
    finding their way out of the cold

    Bitter wind that shakes and howls
    huddling
    cuddling
    warm and safe
    from predatory shrews and owls

    Could it be Red Squirrels in hiding
    that come and go as they please
    hoarding seeds robbed from hungry birds
    that gather outside in the trees?

    Maybe it's chipmunks
    nestled inside the walls
    stretching and exploring like
    running down halls

    My husband and I built our bedroom in the attic of our historic home... the house has a tremendous amount of history and some pretty crazy energy if you believe in that sort of thing. Immediately after we got the drywall of our bedroom in place, we started hearing scratching on the other side of the walls. I've tried to convince myself for the last several years that it's only animals and that we hadn't trapped something a little more otherworldly... lol

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
