Restless Poem by Sonya Florentino
Restless
Got a restless leg, can't sleep at night
A restless heart, turning left and right
Got a restless mind keeps asking why
We can't get answers till we die
Got a restless heart, a restless soul
Restless dreams that I can't hold
Got a restless life, was sick and tired
But this restless life's not mine
Once I laid me down to sleep
I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
I begged to die before day breaks
Not to wake me, not to wake me
I know it sounds a little strange
That God would take the subway train
But that He did and through His eyes
I saw how beautiful this life
And love so big, I can't describe
And all was good, and all was right
But then he left without goodbye
And left me there alone to cry
Once I nearly died in sleep
But I fought back my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I'm ready, I'm ready
Got a restless leg, can't sleep at night
A restless heart turning side to side
Got a restless mind keeps asking why
I survived, still alive
Got a restless heart, a restless soul
Restless dreams I still can't hold
Got a restless life but it's not mine
I survived
I'm alive
I am Life

Here I've found it, just like we described: a totally beautiful poem that has remained elusive until today. But no more: it's officially outed today. This is fantastic and sweet (little bit heart rending, also) . I like the bit about God taking the subway train. Reminds me of a famous quote, 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy...'-Shakespeare, Hamlet
