Dawn of Confusion???

It was past midnight. The tick of the clock and the hum of the AC were deafening in the still midnight. Why is it that everything appears magnified in the darkness of the night, the fears, and even the hunger. I felt famished. The culprit? A mouth blister that hindered me to eat enough, the pain is just excruciating. I  prepared myself a mug of hot chocolate drink and drank it with some bites of cheese cake soothing to my hurting mouth and satisfying my gustatory cravings.

As I could not sleep even after satiating those hunger pangs in my stomach, I decided to write in advance this Sunday’s prompt at One Single Impression ~ Dawn. 

My mind was swimming in endless thoughts. I could not decide on what to write to render the prompt. Will it be a short story? A poem? Or some morning thoughts? There was a raging conflict within my mind on what to write. I decided, let me write what all came to my mind and do the final choice at the end.

Will I write about:

A poor scavenger boy’s struggle

Whose life and survival

Depended on mounds of garbage

That he collected and removed

His income linked to the quantum handled

He always looked forward to heaps of rubbish

In every new dawn?

Or will I write about:

A colleague’s utter agony

When she was diagnosed

With stage two cancer

Followed by inevitable mastectomy

Almost halfway through her

Enervating chemo sessions

She wished for a remission

Hopeful that she’d still wake up to

Many more new dawns?

Or will I write about:

A farmer’s poor lot

Who after planting his crops

Had the misfortune of a typhoon

That wreaked havoc on his field

Ravaging the bountiful crop he had hoped

Leaving nothing but barren land

Crushed though, his hopes were not dashed

Resilient he was in the belief

That in the months to come  

He can raise fresh crops

To recoup his staggering loss

Positively looking forward in his life for

A bright new dawn?

Or will I write about:

Life is full

Of ups and downs

Of highs and lows

Of blessings and trials

Of tranquility and storms

Of peace and wars

Of joys and sorrows

But for every down

Trial, storm, low

War and sorrow

 There lay ahead

A bright, new DAWN?

The roosters in the neighborhood have started crowing noisily. I looked at my watch. It’s almost five in the morning. The sun has started scattering its bright light on the horizon. The glasses in my bedroom window shimmered in  the early morning light that the thick curtains could hardly conceal. 

Whewww….good morning fellow OSI writers!!! J

I am just overwhelmed this morning seeing a bright new dawn and have nothing sensible in mind to finally write, after spending almost half of my sleeping hours wide awake like an owl. Now haggard looking and wished to hit the pillow once again… J ;)

But what a dawn, a beautiful dawn… J

Yeah, morning has broken and yet, my mind was still not able to decide what am I finally gonna write? Weewwww... :P
