Here’s another one I read in A Poem a Day.

All You Who Sleep Tonight
By Vikram Seth

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
And emptiness above—

Know that you aren’t alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

Current Tea: ginseng chai (a zesty blend of American ginseng, ginger, cardamom, pepper, and green tea)
