A Study in Opposites

My days are defined by routines
Predictable and soothing
Mostly determined by the needs
Of my wife and our five dogs.

My nights in contrast
Are ruled by the mercurial 
Creative power of a dreaming mind
Where anything’s possible and welcome.

Where does such creativity come from?
I can only imagine
It is merely the reactive
Opposite of my days.
