Wake for Life

by: Ronel L. Alijado

A man stays awake in nights.

His world has no days.

He struggles in darkness.

He battles without a light but with a rock.

How will he know it is danger?

He cannot understand and see.

He is in wake

Waiting death will turn into life

The sun, the moon, and the stars will appear

Casting off evenings and welcoming mornings

For now, he is not going to bed.

Sleeping is retreating.

He is fighting!
