Poetry: At 2:30 am

At 2:30 A.M.

It's almost time;

My pains are close.

I'm ready now-

And here he comes!

(Twenty-something years later)

I've waited here

For several hours;

Watching and waiting

And smelling those flowers.

My son is in surgery

And I'm here alone -

Several people have come,

But now all are gone.

The doctor just came -

Everything is all right;

He suggested that I rest;

I said that I might.

But seeing my son

Is important right now-

After that, I may sleep;

But I don't see just how.

The nights have been long,

And the days, sometimes, too.

But my son has been strong;

I'm glad he has you!

    I wonder briefly,

    by Juliana Manderico

    It was 2:30 am when I was awaken,

    Of the tiptoes on the hallway close to my room,

    I opened my eyes and listen intently,

    How do you find poetry at 2:30 AM?

    in the arms of a lover

    in the laugh of a friend

    in the breath of a moment

    sipping a cup
