Burning heart hour

CARTE BLANCHE #10

For a few weeks, I woke up every time at the exact same hour. 3 am. To start a nice two hours insomnia. Yet, I am not the kind to wake up in the middle of the night. I am more of a before falling asleep insomniac. When I looked for the meaning of that specific time of the night, between 3 and 5 am, I learned it was sadness and grief hour. Then, I was sad indeed and definitely getting ready for my next symbolic grief.

Every night
The same urgent wake up
First a little dizziness
Then the jolt
It is burning heart hour
It is weeping heart hour

I have already been through
This specific middle of the night transition
Like a sweet shock
Without a glimpse
But nowadays my heart burns

My heart is pounding
My mind is blowing
My dragons are awakening

Then settles the insomnia

I am night grieving
Since days are hiding my pain away

My heart rushes My heart squizzes
Sadness flames
Run through every inch
Each part aches

My sadness is burning

Only missing arms
Would calm the blaze
Only missing arms
Hug other nights

Then I embrace my burning heart hour
I pray from twilight
I praise to down

To honour my weeping heart hour
