About me - Seraphina Knows (aka Julie Courtright)

I was not born with a silver spoon, nor do I own one now! But life has taught me much, and I am so blessed in countless ways with the simple things of life.

Always an optimistic person, I thrive on seeing the bright sight (literally!) I have had to deal with

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Longing: 22 of 397

Strange Longings What have I done to my heart and my Soul, Going into a world where desire will rule, A stranger has taken possession of me, And I simply don't know if I want to be free. Ever so slowly and gently he leads, Shall I trustingly follow his every need? Teasing and playing with fire and ice, Do I dare believe this...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Time: 53 of 686

TIME There is a place, just beyond time, Where life slows it's pace, offering us grace Yet we seem blind, to the ravage of time, Ignoring the peace that is offered to mind We let time slip by, time slips us on by. In the space of a heartbeat, frozen and still, Is the chance to breath in, attend to our will Yet stand we watch...

PERCEPTION'S PRAYER Father Creator, Teacher of time. Guide me to wisdom, open my mind. Bind me to study and learn without fail Teach me to write a great classic tale Teach me oh Father, to focus and read, Strengthen my courage that I shall succeed.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Gardens: 4 of 48

The Garden Of My Heart Hidden in the corner of my little garden plot, Sits an Angel who is guarding all my garden pots. The shadows grow and lengthen as sunlight filters down, Through the leaves and vines a-growing along the garden ground. Tiny Bluebells glisten in the early morning dew, While nearby Shasta Daisies are bowin...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dragons: 10 of 102

DRAGON SONG In a dream from a distant land I awoke With words of a secret that mystery spoke Weaving visions of Dragons rising in place Revealing a secret of mystical grace. Seeker of knowledge, of wisdom and Light, Hear now his song, as it pierces the night Behold the beauty, the mists are revealing, The truth that is blind...
Arts & Humanities > Classical Lit & Mythology Dragons in myth and literature: 1 of 9

A personal perspective on Dragons Since there are already a number of articles filled with "facts" about dragons, I am going to concentrate this article on my own interpretation of dragons.

Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing The benefits of journaling: 28 of 131

Journaling is a blessing! I began making diary entries as a young child, although it wasn't until about ten years ago that I began to seriously journal. I hadn't a real "reason" to delve so deeply into my thoughts until I was told that I had a rare and terminal cancer. Suddenly there was no place for me to turn, nowhere to f...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 85 of 363

The Joy of Love In every human heart and soul There comes the need for love to grow The heart that beats for gain alone Has surely grown a heart of stone Man or woman, grown or child The hollowness that builds inside Is but a garden tilled and primed Waiting for the seeds of time The seeds of love are handed down By God's wh...
