Lazy Sunday....A Writer's Perspective

Gray skies

Rain

Chills the bones

Deadlines loom

Always looming

Research deep

Coffee's strong

Slumber beckons

Empty house

Warm bed

Calling me

Calling....

Surrender.

I like the how the last word here has multiple layers. Surrender - to sweet sleep? or Surrender - your artistic goal? or Surrender - give up?

Perhaps surrendering, as I do, to the stream of the day. Existence itself can occupy everything.

i was in bed a lot yesterday, just exhausted. Today, back to the old grind of sorting, packing, paperwork, and exercise. Thank God for some TV tonight.

I wish I could remember where my bed is and what I was writing about. Wonderful poem, Kimberly. My life has been so hectic this weekend. I think I'll sleep in tomorrow and dream about what to write. Thank you for posting to our group.
