3 A.M. Awakening(Notes From My Diary-2) Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Wow, Well during Ramadan month it is understandable but after that it is your inner self that awakes you to take a look at the life you are living, just u and self.....The drumming part is awesome, it tells us many things between the line, we think too much and we want to live several lives within one, there are so many things do do and when things are not moving the way we desire such things happen (An amplified sound, Drumming into me the realization) This also shows that we are helpless when it comes to getting what we really want and the Almighty runs our show in best possible manner which is beyond our imaginations, hence we follow it....Full marks and EID MUBARAK in advance to one and all in your Family.

Sleep and dreams! With an amplified sound. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Nice one. Perhaps, it is usually at 3: 00 am and early in the morning, the mind goes spiritual and tries to reflect on Truth. That is perhaps why the ancient Indians named the time Sarawati yaamam (the hour of the Goddess of Wisdom) . You have captured that hour well in the poem. Loved the line Even fear makes no screams. (10)

This is an existential poem, that is, the subject focuses on a common aspect of our human nature, the sense that TIME is racing ahead and pulling us along and creating an inner turmoil that the ordinary events of life cover up. But you wake up suddenly at 3 am and since there are no external distractions, you have to face the existential crisis. Your imagery is vivid and gave me this experience in broad daylight. It's a sobering realization. I'm reminded of T.S.Eliot's line, HUMANKIND CANNOT BEAR TOO MUCH RERALITY. Amen.

Inner clamor troubles sleep for many of us. I like the phrase and the poem.

That inner clamor wakens deep thinkers, Nosheen, Life's drift stops for no one, so you either go with the flow or drown
