I AWAKE

I awake in the morning

so upset and distressed

to a world full of mayhem

so confused and so messed.

The sun through my window

so bright comes to heal

but the weight of the chaos

is all that I feel.

Each step feels uncertain

each breath heavy sigh

as I wander in shadows

under our earth troubled sky.

I pray that the turmoil

will soon take its flight

for a whisper of hope

for a glimmer of light.

I rise in deep sorrow

seek calm from the storm

and wish for infusion

of new hopes to be born.
