Creative Writing - "Sleep is"

SLEEP IS BLISS!!! Sleep is one of the most wonderful gifts that God gave us. This wonderful state of humaness allows us to dream, rejuvenate & provides the much needed rest we all deserve.

Screams of frustration
Frozen in my smiling mouth
By civility.

It's hot and spicy!
It's attractive and sexy?
No, it's Thai cuisine.

Childhood Memories

This was written a couple of months ago...

Today is Sunday, June 13th. I am at church keeping nursery and find it very pleasant. Cade is such a doll of a boy who is 2 years now. I kept his sister from an infant who is 5 now and I've kept him as an infant as well. Their parents are such a great couple. Looking out the nursery window I see Bumble Bee bushes; at least that is what I always called them as a child. They are still Bumble Bee Bushes to…

If you save your heart
Until you find the right one
You get no interest.

The Morning Song of the Mockingbird

Our son Sam brought home a baby mockingbird. Or more accurately rescued it. He's been doing this kind of thing since he was little. Finding a baby squirrel, a baby pigeon, etc. that fell out of its nest and was about to be devoured. The only one who ever survived the orphanage and rejoined its clan was a baby crow, and that because crows are way more like us than we care to admit. They are scavengers who will eat darn near anything, very clever, gregarious, stick together in extended families… Continue

To do what I should have done
When I was early?

Sleep is...

At night, the owl and the cricket remind me of the very breadth of life and of all that is beautiful about fog and quiet and darkness. Sleep is the time when I am free to imagine (or remember?) myself: magician, the madonna, the flapper, the sage. I awaken renewed and…

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge: Sleep Is...

Sleep is...



all mine. It's when I stop. Breathe.

Say no to the bad and yes to the good.

What I say goes.



Sleep is when I feel the comfort of the duvet on my bare skin

as the comfort of the universe

scooping me into a maternal hug.



It's when the slowed rhythm of my slumber

synchronizes with the innate purr of my furry friends.



It's when I lay open with my love and he with me,

aligning our forces to face the coming day.



Sleep is… Continue

DiJoseph's More-Than-a Piano Blog #4-INFLUENCES...

INFLUENCES



My earliest musical recollection is that of a music box in my grandmother's house.

Seems like I spent hours... listening....absorbed in that... mysterious..forlorn...intriguing...captivating

sound-of-a-distant-land melody.



Twenty five years back, I began writing a composition that was eventually called.... RECOLLECTION.

I started writing it while learning (or immediately thereafter) Chopin's Preludes in Eminor and… Continue

And we see our world that way.

I had to be me.
Everyone else was taken.
My me fits me well.
