Before Sunrise

 

 

 

Sleep is evasive.
Evasive sleep.

Meant to heal, strengthen  and comfort.

With a flutter it is gone.

Gone.

Yet, night remains.

Thoughts settle in.

Icy.

Cold.

Hoping.

Questioning.

Trusting.

The room is cold.

Cold.

I nestle into my warm cocoon.

Thankful.

Grateful.
Inspite of cold.
Grateful for warmth beside me.
Peace.

Night lingers.

Wishing for sleep.

Longing.

Resting.

Listening.

Pondering.

Pondering my path.

Looking for light.

Light in darkness.

Light for the next step.

Faith.

Faith isn't seeing.

It is knowing.

Knowing a deep kind of knowing.

Knowing without seeing.

Don't fear failure.

Be stronger than fear.

Strength beyond fear is brave.

Be BRAVE.

Tiredness.

Weary.

Tired of strength.

Tired. of. brave.

Tired of holding on.

Tired of knowing without seeing.

Yet hold steady.

Stay the course.

Learn from mistakes of yesterday.
Oh yes, that, yesterday's mistakes.

Learn.

Learn.
LEARN AGAIN.

Move forward.

I hear the wind.

Howling intense gusts.

Pushing the house.
Rattling windows.

Lashing everything in its path.

Its strong voice pushing the night away.

Its icy fingers pulling in dawn.

Morning comes.
Fresh sunrise.

New mercy.

Glorious faithfulness.

I rise to face the day.

A good day.

 

Was your night restless or restful? How will you spend your day?
