She wakes up <br />Grabs a cup of coffee <br />Tells herself everything is alright <br /> <br />She makes some food <br />Her hands touching ingredients <br />Ten wrinkled wands flavouring them with care <br /> <br />She watches a TV show <br />Age blesses her with a nap <br />Wind whispers her a story <br />In wich this woman would never feel sad <br /> <br />Reality calls her name <br />Of course it was a dream <br />She never knew a life without pain <br />Nothing is quite as it seems <br /> <br />Out of the window, the Sun says goodbye <br />'I'll come back tomorrow <br />to warm you and your life' <br /> <br />In a couple of hours Moon is there already <br />'For 81 years you see me in sky hanging <br />I'll always be here to remind you to be steady' <br /> <br />She's already feeling tired <br />Her back is very arched <br />The soul a long time bent <br />Knees are hurting <br />But she can still pretend <br /> <br />She stares at the living room <br />From her core a trace of gloom <br />Brought by the memory of a man <br />Saying 'I'm leaving' with a suitcase in his hand <br /> <br />Once again she swears it's fine <br />Back to routine <br />Every day and every night <br />She doesn't complain <br />It's already past midnight <br /> <br />What was that sound? <br />Where it's being played? <br />It seems to be a lullaby <br />It makes her feel safe <br /> <br />With a kiss and a pinch of faith <br />Time surrounds her with a cozy embrace <br />'You do not have to be scared <br />Of you I'll take care <br />And if your burdens you can't bear <br />Think of me and I'll be there' <br /> <br />Now she's trying to get some sleep <br />Praying to something she cannot see <br />Falls asleep, starts to dream <br />In wich shiny lights protect her skin <br /> <br />These lights are divine intervention <br />But maybe just a dream in her sceptical mind <br />Those lights are Gods and Goddesses <br />Preparing her soul for one more day in this life.<br /><br />Ananda Alves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/divine-intervention-5/
