Woke up again,
The time is same,
Many stories about it,
Was that a creak I heard upstairs?
Hello! Is somebody there?
Where is the wind coming from?
All the windows are shut,
Oh God! was it all not a fuss?
Are the legends true?
Is the devil true?
But wait a sec, are those my brother’s shoes?
He is back,
Silly me, let’s go back to sleep,
Anyways its 3 AM here,
But somewhere on the globe its 3PM too,
Time to dream again…
I love this. The opening and closing are particularly powerful.
Thank you so much, I am still amateur poet but the marathon gives me some crazy ideas.
