The little snatches



Someone told me once,

that they don't like sleeping late,

as sleeping is like

little snatches of death.

I can't fathom that.

I love sleeping late, especially on a weekend.

On friday night

I love to listen to the noise of

the city traffic ebbing away into

silent roads.

Noise draining from the day

is always lovely.

Maps of shadows dance on the walls

candles get lit and amber wine gets poured

into waiting crystal glasses.

Light separates from the day,

we sleep,

we sleep.

  1. Glad you enjoyed your sleep! :) I think it was well deserved after a busy week at work!

    I like sleeping late, on the rare occasions that I do, but sometimes I feel as though I've wasted the day. I'm not always very good at relaxing :(

  2. Hallo my darling :)
    My problem is I'm too good at it. LOL
    My excuse is that I'm up at half six five days a week,
    at work I'm mostly on my feet all day.
    Any excuse, eh?
    We have had a lovely day.
    Went out for tea, just home.

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
