Sleep My Lovely
 "And if tonight my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new,opened flower then I have dipped again in God, and new-created." _D.H.Lawrence Sleep is pertinent to my soul. I learned a long time ago, to create a
beautiful sanctuary out of my bed to comfort my head, to restore my body and heart. My body so needed the rest for it was filled with turmoil and toil. Never to rest, I felt restless nights were spent flip flopping from side to side, along with my continuous mind. Tussle, hassle, deep rooted nightmares, repeated over and over, again. I started my restoration with buying myself a new beautiful comforter and pretty sheets. To keep my soul from going a rail from the years of torment that created the insomniac that I once was. I continue to nourish and nurture my well-being. Today, I lay my head to rest. There is peace within as my body and heart follow. Sleep, ah yes my lovely, I restored my soul. Now a night is well spent to regenerate my every fiber. Years of turmoil are no longer in my attire. I am at peace...God is good and I too have been good to myself. No more insomniac stealing my nights away. Hip-hip-hooray! I lie down to sleep my soul to reap. How I love a good-nights sleep! My bed now is lined with soft pastels that represent the the balance of
feminine and masculine energies. The sheets are made of fibers that sooth and speak to my sensuality. A quilt adorns the bed that was hand sewn by my loving, vibrant, healing hands. Plush pillows for cradling my head to create sweet dreams. And a few throw pillows that are a simple reminder of all the beauty there is in the world. A few words of gratitude are spoken each night as God embraces me into a good oblivion. lilliangaffney.com |

no problem, lillian. the goal is that it's a creative writing exercise more than just "the topic of sleep". it's supposed to prompt your creative writing self. and i want people to use their blog space, because it is less restrictive and because it can be shared easier that way.
