Midnight Pearl

A midnight pearl awakes me from my slumberous sleep Deep within my psyche a waking poem begins to creep Climbing from my earth bound mind the words begin to seep Many have said, beware my dreams, as strange things have oft been released Last week bespoke a volcano demon that rained embers upon our house A storm devil once arose, attempting to carry off our old farmhouse This week I feel the energy of an earthquake god, as he tries to venture forth Our basement trolls, him perchance to rebury, are traveling to war henceforth But they had truly best hurry, for I tell thee we are out of time Still amidst the darkest, deepest, black of times, a light can begin to shine Verily I swear, this night a candle will be lite, to shine upon this rhyme For I will evoke the will of God, with prayer most sublime Therefore, pray a prayer oh so sweet, like a garland to lie upon our heads Thus to bespeak, I awake beside my love, with romantic sonnets to be led

PS. Carol, Congratulations on your nice win. Thank you for all the time you took supporting and entering my contest this past year 2015:-) I'm taking, this time, to explain how I really enjoyed every entry. I truly wanted to place every poem, but two with high placements. However, it is a contest and with all the bickering going on about the way we judge our contest. I did not place everyone the way I wanted to in this contest. I do APOLOGIZE. Please don't be upset if you are sharing a placement or did not make the top 10. I feel every poem, should have been placed high. Stop by my latest Blog "Favorite Type of Poem" when you'd like or have time. Celebrate by sharing with us, Your Favorite type of poem. Have A Blessed Year. Love SKAT

I like the spirit of the poem, it is pious and devout and shows that, with faith, proper veneration of God above can comfort us in troubled time. A midnight pearl of wisdom indeed. Best of luck in the contest with this great poem!
