Poem by Paige


Barely Sleep
Paige Ponder Monaghan

I can barely sleep

without you

anymore
.

A feeling I’ve never had before, that is

each time you walk out the door.

Oh the days are bliss and

Solitude my other lover.

Nonetheless the days have changed and

my love for you blooms in color

a place in me

I did not know I could share.


Now Forever more

I can barely sleep

without you

anymore.

Quote

"I think I should have no other mortal wants if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with music."
--George Eliot

Vingnettes by Paige

Just as I was not taking my own advice from prior post 20 August, a hummingbird came to the feeder outside my office to which I had just returned. Flapping his wings as hard as I had been since 5 this morning, my heart racing, excitement of all there is to do, to do, to do...(such as, prepare for potential tropical storm?). That bird took 8 seconds of his sweet time to remind me: slow down and smell the roses. It is lunch time. Thanks, Birdie.
