To Play or To Sleep!

The stars are bidding me come play,
Come dance with them tonight,
But I think I'll slip off to bed
And sleep within their light.
For that is where new dreams are born,
They're nurtured by moonlight,
That's why I never close my drapes
To go to sleep each night.

That and I live where no one else can see in my room! :)

Ripples and Reflections

Sorrow ripples through my life,
In many ebbs and flows,
Too many loved ones lost this year,
While pain just grows and grows.Reflecting on the setting sun
That lights the rippled sea,
I recognize that pain will pass.
Will joy return to me?

I love you, Popsi, March 3, 2010 and I love you, Brian, July 19, 2010.

Misty-rious Moon

Beauty and the Beast

Even though his friends all said she was bad for him, he loved her dangerous beauty.

Dancing in the Moonlight

Dancing where the moonlight strays
Upon the darkened bay
Her feet were lighter than the breeze
That tossed her hair astray
Then wrapped its arms around her waist
And kissed her tears away.

Watering the Garden

Over time she came to understand that sorrow is not something that heals... it must leave the body in the form of tears or it will build up until it drowns the heart. So she promised herself that she would find the prettiest flower in her garden and sit beside it while she wept. That way her sorrow would water her joy and there would be a bright purpose to it after all.

Once the Sun Shone in my World

Silence, darkness, the stars won't even peek out from under their covers. Perhaps tomorrow the sun will shine. Perhaps it will never shine again. But once, while I knew you, it shone so very brightly. I will always remember the way it sparkled from your eyes when you smiled and that memory will warm the silence and light up the darkness.

Too many loved ones lost. Too much sorrow to carry in one heart.
