Sleepless Nights
By: D.M Navoda Dissanayake
Rough and grey Corpses coming and going
The waves are twisting and whirling On the shores
Boats sway side to side Weeping and shouting
So dofishermen sway on the tide I run to the shores
Stormy clouds rumble in the sky Thinking my love
Lightning bolts strike in the sky Taken by sea
When will the weather be calm? I place my hands together
Oh! Mylove, eyes full of tears Upon my forehead
Me alone with child Facing the god
The sea like a monster, I fear I fear Pray day and night
No sleepday and night The sea does not
I fear not death, but thy life Have my love upon its list
Angling and netting
Thou toil long days and nights
Life abattle, no delight
Crying day and night
Shout I“Comehome! Come home! Let’s
try another
But thy only answer “Tismy only job.
Nayturning back”
