Prospective

Have you ever wondered what others think about you? Today, I’m wondering this. If you look at me, my right ear is crimson. Frequently, I rub my ear and scalp. My work environment is very subdued. There’s very little noise or wild gesturing. I know my behavior is suspicious. Does she have head/body lice, earContinue reading “Prospective”

Ships

All of our lives, we hear sayings. Some we understand. Other soar over our heads. Their meanings lost in the clouds.

All but one life is blind which makes me very blue. At night when my mind is asleep bits and pieces through my unconsciousContinue reading “A Thousand Lives”

Interrupt Sleep

Sleep is an amazing event in my life. My bed is soft and warm. Sleep wraps me in comfort. It erases the stress of the day. Oooh, if I get to dream, especially a good dream, sleep transports me to a whole new world. Sleep is my friend. One night I am ripped from myContinue reading “Interrupt Sleep”
