Sister Poetry

Child,⠀
you were tossing so last night.⠀
The silent hours,⠀
in long, giant steps⠀
had passed your way⠀
and mounted to another day⠀
yet, there you lay⠀
wide-eyed,⠀
brain-tangled,⠀
soul-strangled,⠀
desperate against an unknown day⠀
as if it were all yours to play⠀
the futile game—⠀
to play, and lose!⠀
Child,⠀
you were tossing so last night!⠀
Haven’t I kept My promises?⠀
