Distractions whirl, no two the same
Interest and novelty, knowledge and game.
Sensations overwhelm, and you need a break
Thoughts fragments surge, but never a full thought make.
Running through your imagination, unfocussed, wild,
A way to calm your mind, like soothing a child.
Calming distractions, a needed reprive
Thinking can wait, you need rest to thrive.
Innovation, invention, ingenuity alights
Other ideas form, the mind clear of distraction
No more brain clutter, until next it loses traction.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE *** just had to know *** ++++++++++++ As Mike drove through the town he hadn’t seen in about twenty years, he wondered about those he’d left behind when he left for what he thought would be “greener pastures.” He wanted to make his mark on the world. Determination drove him and the little town of Meadowville wasn’t where he wanted to be.

Very nicely done.
Calming and a wonderful way to be centered to start the day
thinking can wait. I've been feeling like that all day
Ah, that driving need for rest (which might explain why I sometimes have trouble falling asleep at night--I just want it too much!). The bane of creativity, the need for just one more word, the right word, the only word. Go to bed, gosh darn it! (I never seem to listen to me.)
