Once upon a midnight dreary
Oh I've heard this line before
Get up - drink a little water
Then try to sleep some more
Anxiety hops over
You can count it just like sheep
One by one they all jump over
Each robbing you of sleep
Before you know it morning's come
Leaving bags beneath your eyes
It must be something that I ate
And other little lies
[written August 11th 2002, but very fitting considering last night. Except last night had nothing to do with eating anything, I rarely eat in the late night. Today I have an appointment I'm having some anxiety about.]
Strange Bird Flying
Why did strange bird start flying? To free herself from the cage she has kept herself in.
The Weight of A Rock
Collage created from magazine pictures and fonts - my most important piece of art. I hope it inspires creativity and awareness of the damage that can be done to children. Not all survive.

Strange Bird
Strange bird
Strange bird I am,
Or so Ed had called me.
"Strange bird," he'd laugh
I am, not always knowing
the cause of his gladness
Something said
In serious innocence
But taken ever lightly
I'de smile as if I knew
"You strange bird," he'd say
I am.
[Poem was made many years ago in memory of my late husband: Edward Ray Sayers, who found my naivete amusing. I thought it was a most fitting name for my blog.]
