Instrument to the Heart

04/06/201602/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Music, Opinion

Do I play a musical instrument? Depends on who you ask. I play a little keyboard (badly) and about three chords on the guitar. The instrument I use most though is one one does not play…My voice. I sing. When I was younger I wanted to be a star. You know…name in lights and all of that. The only problem was that I hated the fact that everyone looked at me when I sang.

She Gave Me

29/04/201602/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Love, Poetry

A home filled with bodies
Generations three
You fed us
Chastised us
Laughed with glee
On hands and knees
The floors you cleaned
These thoughts are in my memory

“I do not consider myself to be a great writer…but I try. Fortunately for me I’ve found this Facebook group called The Blog Tag. Their aim? To help those of us who struggle some with topics to help kick us into gear. I think it’s a fantastic idea.”

In My Garden

24/03/201602/02/2017 Shelley (thedealis)Poetry, Reflecting Inward

I have all these beauties in my garden
An array of note
Tall, skinny, dotted daffodils
As they grow and grow into roses
Their innocent haze
A thing to praise
While life has not yet claimed them
I watch over them
Protect their intelligence
And nurture their beings
My garden is a bounty of joy
Laughter, silliness, love
My garden (on loan)
I love to behold
My garden of hope

Another Year, Another Shot At It

“Every day. Every week. Every month. Every year. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean and start again. Or continue from where you left off. “

Pick Me! Pick Me!

about two months ago I went for a job interview. I’m somewhat of a professional job hunter so was glad to get an invitation after a whole lot of nothing. Seriously, the “regret to inform you” letter is better than “nothing tastes like Fresca” (some might be too young to get this).
