Days call tired bones to the bed
Nights call for a restful head
Is there any in between, anymore?
My gut is aching
something is wrong
You’re not telling me what’s going on
I know there’s something
Days call tired bones to bed but
I can’t shake this queasiness
The world is crying out
Can you listen?
I’m crying too,
I’m finding out more and more
It was never for myself
It was for them, you, too
The world is crying out
battered and bloodied
by another needless war
and we’re dining out,
or staying in
Some of us so oblivious, it makes me sick
Oh God,
I’m so terrified of everything.
My throat is aching from the coughing,
and my nose is dripping, too.
Missing another long day,
missing more progress to be made
Yes, I’m sad for what I’m missing
But I’m not completely unaware
I’m still fortunate
I have tomorrow .
About the piece: It’s 343 am as I have just finished this free verse piece. I am currently sick, again with something. I don’t know if any of you have been struggling with getting sick a lot this winter but I certainly have!! My clients’ have too. It’s been a rough one. I have been watching the news off and on which has been breaking my heart. This war in Ukraine is devastating. Another blogger I talk with a lot through comments brought up a good point. It made me cry after reading it. A lot of people in Ukraine can’t even have a chance to stop and look at nature’s beauty. It’s something we can take advantage of and enjoy. These poor people are being totally removed and traumatized in their own country, their towns, villages, etc. As much as I can’t stand that I caught something else, my sadness and prayers are solely focused on those suffering in Ukraine. We have tomorrow. They might not even have today. This is just something to consider. Pray for Ukraine and the world.- Love Brittny Lee
