Today

A blank screen.
A blinking cursor.
A racing mind, searching.
Searching for words.
Words to describe today’s life collective.
The sun was bright and the birds chirping.
An omen to a good day.

A coffee house.
The comfy sofa.
Pasta for dinner, complimentary of a friend.
Sipped chilled mocha up through the purple straw.
Talked, laughed and gossiped.
Tomorrow’s worries, is tomorrow’s worries.

A fake cancel to the discount card.
A brave friend overcoming the fear.
Exchanging of words as the fear’s screwed; a cup of pure chocolate is the sow she reaped.

Night has fall, goodnights were said.
Parted our ways with a smile on our face.
Because we know today, was a good day.

The girl who could not sleep.

The beautiful orange glow slowly shy away.
Dreary blackness creeps in.
Goodnights were said.
Hugs were felt.
Kisses, planted.

In the darkness of her room, she could hear her sister's breath.
Sister is in deep sleep, she thought.
Wishing in vain she could do the same.
Counting sheeps does not help one bit.
Shutting her mind does not do the trick.
She tossed and turned, creaking the bed.
Said a little wishful prayer, hoping that she is not the girl who could not sleep.
