Poem By Shaza, Natalie, Kaelynn, Megan, Chee Teck
Day to Night
The hands have shifted,
So quickly I didn’t notice sooner
I feel like a burden has been lifted,
The twenty-fourth hour is now a tad closer
The sun takes cover,
‘Neath the colliding waves of colour
Soon all will fade to black—gone is the sky’s blusher,
The day’s activities were all to discover
My shoulders ache,
And so do my back, legs, and every single muscle in my body,
I think my bones are about to break,
Rest is essential lest my work become sloppy
Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Earl Grey,
Hunting down my favourite tea
Chamomile, Ginger and Boba to call it a day,
A blanket around me
The hands have shifted,
So slowly I noticed sooner
Sleep eludes me—I haven’t drifted,
But it sneaks up later, an intruder
