Black and White

I close my eyes and yearn for sleep, deep and thick and rich sleep.

I want a night of depth, filled with swirls of colors.

But, I stare into the darkness and see two colors.

Black and white.

There should be contrast, it makes the difference, a change.

I hear the talk of shades, of gray-light, dark, an immersed abundance of colorlessness.

I should dream of flowers blooming, bright and beautiful, of rain kissed leaves in fall flush with color.

But, it is a barren sea of Black and white.

I want to touch the colors of red, purple, orange, awake with the warmth they give off inside a dream world.

I want to taste yellow in the sunshined corners of my mind.

I want to smell the greens and blues of deep salty ocean waves or dew filled meadows.

But, Black and white is what I get.

The black and white of insomnia, the sleep of zombies, the sleep of the undead, the lack of sleep that stunts my mind, my body, and my soul.

I want sleep, I need it, but instead I get black and white.

1 Year Anniversary

Thanks for remembering WordPress!

In my notifications I had this little popup box that said Happy Anniversary!  Well gosh…thanks.

I am just proud of myself for keeping up with something I enjoy.  There are so many thing I could be doing in my spare time, but blogging and creating art is something that brings be happiness.  I really do it for me-it is VERY selfish.  (FYI I am completely ok with this selfish action.)

For those who follow me, thank you! You share in my selfishness and see inside me.  To another year of being creative and following other wonderfully creative people!

The unexpected things that make you smile.

I have been sick latley.  Sorry for the delay in posting pictures. I haven’t had the strength to draw in weeks. From the flu to bronchitis to strep throat I hope this is the end of the sickness road.

As a pick me up during my recovery I received flowers to cheer me up from a group of awesome from I reenact with. I am feeling loved.
