MIDNIGHT SNACK: MANUAL WRITING VERSION

(for Physical and Spiritual Hunger: Reading from Isaiah)

by Dreamy Poetess

Lying awake in this dark, hot and quiet place,

Contemplating something to fill this empty space.

Right at this moment it is hard to paint my face,

‘Cause I am hungry, I can’t follow the time’s pace.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened.

I cannot go back to my sleep that was broken.

There’s nothing new about it, I can’t be shaken,

For waking-up at this hour is hunger-driven.

So I went to the kitchen and looked for some meat.

Yet find nothing, not even a morsel of wheat.

So then I tried to look for something good to eat.

I cook some oats and wait silently in a seat.

In the moment when I satisfied my hunger,

I felt a relief, but still wished for another.

Even if tonight I cannot help but wonder,

Instead of sleeping I grab a pen and paper.

I cannot go back to sleep, it’s like insomnia.

But I know that I have to, I have anemia.

I know it is not because of paranoia,

But then instead of sleeping, I read ISAIAH.

I read the tenth verse of the  forty-first chapter,

God is always with us, therefore, we should not fear.

He will be with us and He will make us stronger.

We won't fret, even on things that make us suffer.

Right now I’m afraid to fall into a deep sleep,

For when I awake I’ll be late to ride the jeep.

Then I realized the things I forgot to keep,

They may be the reason my sleep isn't so deep.
