BLACK IS THE DARK OF THE NIGHT <br /> <br />Black is the dark of night <br />Deep is the quiet and calm – <br /> <br />Waking before the world does <br />Brings a special peace – <br /> <br />I write these lines <br />And begin the day <br />When others still sleeping - <br /> <br />All the world is mine at peace <br />And when the morning light comes <br />I will be astonished by the beauty <br />Of God’s world.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-is-the-dark-of-night/
