I Am A Thinker And A Dreamer

There are many times when I can't go to sleep directly. Maye it's been a hot day, Or a long one. Or a bad or a sad one. Just anything can happen.

I snuggle into my satin pillowcase, close my eyes, and begin to picture the most recent chapter of my latest continuing story. I don't start from the beginning, oh, no, not me. I slowly turn the pages, like in a book, and concentrate on what I put down last, the storyline, and what comes next. I begin to compose, slowly, word by word. Then an invisible hand reaches down and removes the sign saying "Writer's Block" and places it to one side. Then - WOW! Inspiration!

I start to breathe deeper, slower, more rhythm to my thoughts now. I can picture the scene, the rhythm in the walking of the people and pets, if any; what they say and the noises they make. What is happening now?

I frown in my sleep. What just happened before that present scene which led into the present situation?

Eventually I relax, the story continues.

But, by this time, I am asleep, my present composition piled in my brain like neat stacks of paper in a quivering wait to be sprung.

@RobinPhoenix That sounds wundervoll, kleiner Bruder! When I said it, it was a "shot in the dark" because I hadn't spoke to you about it before und I hoped I was right in assuming so. Now I am eager to experience THAT.

I already cry mit joy when I hear you sing oder see you perform. You are multi-talented, no doubt about that.

Now, one correction/question from your Englisch Lehrerin (if I may become one fuer a few minutes) the word "jewelry". Ist that the German spelling, oder just a mistake? In America, we spell it "jewelry". (If it ist German, I will put it into mein study guide.)

You can always ask me what you want to know, my beloved sisterheart.@MaryJanine :*

You know, I always appreciate it when you help me avoid mistakes in your mother tongue. But with this one it doesn't seem to be a mistake,
but to be a common other word for jewelry, because the online dictionary tells me it's written this way as a translation for the German word Schmuck.

@RobinPhoenix Let me see if I have this right. "Schmuck" means "jewelry" in German? That ist puzzling to me...because in America, "schmuck" is a word fuer a disliked oder disgusting person(!) I brought up the question because you spelled "jewelry" mit two l's. In Englisch, we only use one - until this Morgen, I never knew it to be otherwise und the printed dictionary I have (Englisch) und often refer to doesn't contain the word with two ll's - just one.

If you are right und I am wrong, that's another spike in mein German education. Between you und Michael, I am learning things right und left - here, there, und everywhere!
