How Badly Slept a Weary World

How badly slept a 
weary world,        
at nature's 
routine 
behest, churned.    
A certain 
chilling     quiet 
was 
around,               at 
night to take its 
toll.                                                             
For 'twas but a 
sleeping 
world,                      
asleep with all 
but 'the fairly 
odd':      the 
'mischief-laden' 
creepy 
ones,                  to 
eerie lyrics 
sworn.                                                     
Now leaps out of 
the dark, a blissful 
morn,          afore 
cocooned in a 
twilit urn.    
Thanks to the 
hands 
of dawn so 
luminous,        
apart the veil is 
torn.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
