The Stuff of Dreams

I have had some pretty interesting dreams.  They play out in my mind like blockbuster movies.  I have had epic dreams and independent dreams.  Dreams that were short, simple and sweet.  Dreams that were long, involved and dramatic.  Funny dreams.  Hot dreams.  You name it – I have dreamed it. 
Sometimes [...]

Justice

Drama Queen is about to get a real life lesson in civics and quite possibly another lesson on knowing who your friends are, although I hope for her sake the latter is left out of the curriculum.
A few months ago her cell phone was stolen from school.  Her Language Arts class was working on a [...]

Just Cinquain You Change Your Mind

(apologies right off the bat as that title has little to do with this post)
Here begins today’s lesson. I am a member of Writing.Com, a nice little community of writers. They host a wide variety of writing contests and one specific weekly contest has grown on me. Each week you are given a list of [...]

Growing Out My Hair

Every few years I go through a hair crisis of sorts.  Kind of like a mid-life-crisis, but only with my hair.  Mabye I should call it a hair spree or a hair revolution.  Anyway, I let it grow and then on a spree go get a drastically short cut and totally freak everyone out.  Personally, [...]

Pictures of parades and softball games fill your albums,
albums I did not see for many years.
Years of hurt were washed away

Years passed and we became closer.
We worked together,
and lived together.
We became friends.

Random Ramblings

I cannot seem to keep one coherent train of thought rolling today. It has certainly been one of those weeks.

So – in an effort to keep a promise I made to myself recently to start posting something daily (or as close to daily as I can), here is your friendly Friday brain [...]

Flip

Pour a small amount,
same for everyone.
The starter signals,
the game begins.
Cheering, chanting, laughing.
A mess is made,
fun is had by all.
Flip that cup.

The song begins,
lifting my soul to new heights
I hear your voice.
Emotions flowing forth,
rivers of peace to envelop my heart.
My eyes close.
Not tight, but loosely relaxed,
listening to my muse.
