What Time Is It?

Wednesday, December 14, 2011


Somewhere between evening twilight and darkness, time blurs reality with shadows. It is the time when angels lag behind and evil knows it cannot be seen, you feel small. Do you know this time?

It is the time of day when the wickedness of the world seeps in your room and transforms itself to mystical, dancing pillars of mist. The angels watch, far in the distance but the dancing mist obscures their view. A shadow flinches in the corner, did it actually move?

I’m Bringing it Out of the Bedroom

Monday, February 7, 2011

I do not know when it happened or even how it happened. But I have lost faith in my bed partner. Have you ever lost your faith in someone? For this reason I am bringing it out of the bedroom.

There was a time when I longed to sleep with you. After a day of struggling through the diversity of adversity I longed for your comforting support. I craved it, I needed it and you were always there.

Help, I've Been Abducted

Saturday, October 2, 2010

Sleep came easy to her. Three straight nights of little to no sleep had left her zapped of all energy and closing her eyes felt like heaven. In the dark, a warm comfortable bed called out, her relief was at hand. Was it? Could sleep really be her salvation?

Nine hours later the sun was peeked through a window. One at a time she opened her eyes, and in seeing the mocking sun, threw a pillow at the window. “No use,” she thought, “I must get up.” With the speed of a snail she stumbled to the bathroom. “Oh my God!” was all she could say.

Stop, Who Goes There?

Friday, October 1, 2010

In one violent motion she sat straight up in bed. Her body on full alert, her mind trailing slowly from behind, she felt the presence of another. Tension so taut it reminded her of evil, something horrible must be there. Her eyes slowly scanned the room with apprehension, “Who is there, what do you want?” she screamed.

The plea for knowledge fell silent; no words had crossed her mouth. In the silence of the darkness her head went straight to fear. The shadows are partners of the evil and with a chuckled took full advantage of her state of mind. Again she tried to speak, “Who is there and what do you want?”

Out of Order

Thursday, September 30, 2010

This blog is temporarily Out of Order. Toady’s post is because I have just gone totally brain dead and am in need of maintenance. I achieved only 4 hours of sleep night before last, went all day and then proceeded way into the night. Why?

Why have I been up for 20 hours straight, because my body is having trouble adjusting to this seasonal change? I do the same thing come spring. Can’t sleep, not really awake, just sort of stumbling through the hours. My mind it goes a mile a minute and yet, my body screams, “Sleep.” I think I my body clock will be first on the maintenance list.

Last night I managed to get another 4 hours sleep, hoorah! But first thing this morning the gentleman showed up to re-flash my chimney. This actually was on my maintenance list but with no sleep it is pounding in my head.

Actually, that pounding is on my roof and is totally distracting. No way can I think of insightful words with this noise. Besides the noise resembles fingernails on chalkboard. EH!

I’m reading your blogs and commenting as usual but being prolific will have to wait until this work is done. I may even take a nap if my furry friends will let me. Perhaps a “Day Cap” is in order?

Just wanted to let you know why there is this void in my posts, life. Please come back when the real alarm clock has gone off and my mind is working again.

Until then…Peace and slumber to you.
