Midnight's Illusion
December 18, 2011
As morning lifts my eyes
I calmly awaken
The sun’s innocent rise
The sweet smell of bacon
One thing I know
Night will fall again
The moon soon to show
Returns like an old friend
Although daytime’s pleasant
Nothing can compare
Night is like my present
Her cooling calm air
As the sky goes to rest
As she lay down her head
She’s looking her best
As she sleeps in her bed
The way the stars shine
When they sparkle and glow
Calm my busy mind
As they put on a show
Open my window
Wave her good-bye
The day has been slow
But I close my eyes
The sky, black like soot
And of course in conclusion
I’d rather set foot
Into midnight’s illusion

I love the poem, because talks little bit of everything and I agree with comment number one, you are super talented. The part where talks about the "as the sky goes to rest.." I relate with this “ Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you” I love it. this is an Amanzing Poem!!
