The night before was dark and drear <br />the morrow darker would appear, <br />and yet, and yet, could shadows pass <br />when contest changes life at last? <br /> <br />The night before, spent, as I said, <br />from bed to dread from dread to bed, <br />clouds pillow-billowed overcast, <br />light overhead fled fleet and fast. <br /> <br />The night before, reared insincere <br />head ugly, no dream-future clear <br />could lighten load, elastoplast <br />afford my hide-bound mind’s repast. <br /> <br />The night before was long and wear, <br />as faulty as a salty tear, - <br />a tear tear followed, which aghast <br />grieves universe, Earth’s dearth surpassed. <br />by night to come that nowhere led, <br />no motive true to stay ahead, <br />as night before led from the past <br />to nowhere – horror scope forecast. <br /> <br />The night before’s forgot! Instead <br />to joy sublime time's rhyme chime’s wed, <br />to trophy rich which at long last <br />plays switch stitch lines, may from cold blast <br />defend end chill, will lend to head, <br />a heart resprung, soul whole, sheet spread. <br /> <br />Yet don’t forget such sharp contrast <br />between what followed and the past <br />so precious seems that outline here <br />might make Gods jealous, so we'll steer <br />from story few’d believe outclassed, - <br />leave each to judge through insight vast...<br /><br />Jonathan ROBIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/event-attained-eve-entertained/
