Awakening in the Darkest Hour ~ (Poetry)

by Lila Talic

When I was a child I remember having many visitors at night

They used to speak to me.

I don’t remember what about.

But I remember hating bedtime.

I would do anything in my power to not sleep alone.

The voices

And shadows in the corners of my room –

All whispering things I didn’t understand.

Night after night.

Over the years

I learned to welcome the dark.

And leaving impacts on you for months at a time.

We aren’t supposed to remember dreams that way,

or are we?

I wonder if the people I dream about wonder about me as well?

When I see them pop on messenger after not being active for months –

Is it a sign?

Something is stirring in me.

It wants to come out and play.

Let’s see what happens when it does …
