Afterlife.......Writing time......

Good evening all :-)

As I mentioned a wee while ago - I want this blog to be about my complete creative side not just Art and Crafting.......so today I have finished a new piece of writing......

Hope you like.....

AFTERLIFE

Sailing free today, through the sunrise onto the horizon
this Old memory came back to me, you came back to me.
A halfway feeling, a smile while I was dreaming
making my way across the line, into the next life...

Tell me a tale,
sell me that dream,
before I fall asleep.
An everyday story
beating gravity.
Tonight's the night
for the Afterlife

Baby, I have seen you in the shadows of the longest night
but, he reached out to me, a burning fire through the vapour trails
Fleeting, believing, no regrets, this time, alive
Made his way over divides, into the next life...

Tell me a tale,
sell me that dream,
before I fall asleep.
An everyday story
beating gravity.
Tonight's the night
for the Afterlife

Have you ever had a wave break in the palm of your hand,
Has a shell ever sung you it's anthems of distant sands.
Not everything that wanders is lost,
taste the freedom of red star skies
.....and hold on.....
We are all just soldiers of the sun
.....so shine on.....
Not all that's lost is gone

Tell me a tale,
sell me that dream,
before I fall asleep.
An everyday story
beating gravity.
Tonight's the night
for the Afterlife....

....and now for something COMPLETELY different......

Good Afternoon everyone!!

Its been another "4 seasons in 1 day" here so far! It's been a funny day, not quite settled at anything n nothing crafty seems to have worked. 

So stepping out on a limb, I thought I would do something a wee bit different!!

As well as card making and crafting, some of you may know I also partake in a little song writing and poetry along the way.

This is one of my recently written pieces.....

SLEEP WITH THE SUN

Shadows of the wind, a flickering flame
Earth, wind and fire, dance across the skyline again.
A ghostly lit figure, moving all alone,
You came, you conquered and you stole

I am many flaws
but I am sewn together at the core
with good intentions
for richer or for poorer
all the sticks and stones
only make me own me a little more

Sleep with the sun, dance with the moon,
It’s only a view
Turn downside up and upside down,
Make it work for you
Don’t draw the lines in steel and stone,
Don’t fill in the blanks until you know


I am many flaws
but I am sewn together at the core
with good intentions
for richer or for poorer
all the sticks and stones
only make me own me a little more

I hope you like it and maybe find something in it. Maybe not. - I won't be offeneded!!
 Poetry/songs are very personal things :-)

In the meantime do not fear!!!!

The crafting and card making will be back in the next post!!! I just wanted to share something different...

Crafty Cheers for now!!

Love

Rae
