What do you do
when words are in your head
and they want to spill out like
smarties falling out of a smarties tube?
I was so full to the brim with
words today an ocean couldn't hold them.
I wanted to scribble in my journal
instead of looking after sick people.
I dreamt of the smell of salt water
and
all the beautiful waves that crash around our shores.
New songs that I've discovered every day
played in a virtual ipod in my head.
Photographs old and new went round
in a continual slideshow.
Why does everything in the world seemed
soaked in beauty to me?
People. Songs. Words. Coffee. Cherries.
If I had it all to do again
( much as I love the career I chose)
I would get my ass off to uni and write until my fingers
fell off.
No, really.
I would.

Have a happy, funny weekend, dears.

Ahhhh! What a wonderful post, and so full of happiness! I loved reading this. It made my heart want to dance!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the new header is fabulous! Summer is so close now I can almost taste it. It tastes like vanilla ice cream, coconut and citrus fruits, and smells like suncream and the saltiness of the sea.
I get days like this when I'm so full of words that I can't write them down quickly enough!
Hope you have a happy, funny weekend too, my little gem.

Hello my precious Kess!
ReplyDeleteI've been to ( don't faint ) church tonight.
My friends daughter is going on the 31st of July to trek The great wall of China .
The money raised will go to building orphanages in Africa.
Anyhoo, we sang and ( boy those pentecostals love to dance in the aisles.)
We came home, and had a glass of wine in the garden it was so balmy and still.
Then a huge moth flew into my hair and I went, screaming, back into the house.
Tomorrow, a 21st birthday party!
Kess,
thank you.
Your words mean the world to me.
They really do.
