Early Morning Calls

A poem Based on those calls that wake us during the night

Early Morning Calls

Away in a world of dreams
Nothing to trouble me
No nightmarish screams
Then a tone awakens me
from my slumber

Brrrrring brrrrrring brrrrring brrrrrring

Gaze down drowsily
Withheld number
Thought provoking
A call at such an hour
Reasons for this begin to tower

Drunken escapades
Thinking its fun to call
Needing to borrow some money
Bail for a late brawl

Then the mind darkens
its slow undoing
Thinking of the worst
Your front seat at the viewing

Calls from a hospital
Someone has passed
Friends are in trouble
This time it’s the last

Answering the phone
Unable to totally comprehend
But needed to be a voice
To help out this friend

Voice of reason
Agreeing and offering advice
Voice of anger
You have woken me expecting to be nice
Voice of judgement
You don’t deserve to be treated that way
Voice of praise
I’m so proud of you now get some sleep ok

Calls that awaken us
during the night
Sometimes welcomed
Sometimes aggravate
Unwilling to wait until light

Its our choice to answer
But if your ever alone
Think of yourself in need of help
And nobody answers their phone

A poem Written as I was woken early this morning by a phone call

please give honest reviews as always

And although there is a silent feature on phones would you prefer to sleep when somebody needs you ??

Awesome anthem for GOOD people everywhere. This is so easy to read, yet covers so many issues in depth. Profound, with a light touch. Outstanding.

Hi,
this is really good. Kat24

[Kiri Nells]

Definitely relatable! I tend to sleep with a phone next to me just in case. Great one!

[Sunni Davis]

Well written and relatable. I think we've all been awoken by the blasted phone ringing but most of us still keep it within earshot in case a friend needs us at two a.m. Great poem!

[HopelesslyDevoted]

you made a very good point at the end, this really did need to be said. nice!

[Murtuza]

Very well written. I myself get a little irritated when I get disturbed from my sleep by a call. You've given us a good lesson about the importance of answering each call no matter what the time is.
I like the flow and the rhythm. Keep it up!
