Poetic Expression: Round 5

I recently spent about 46 hours awake, for a variety of reasons. It changes your perspective when you're awake for more than one complete cycle of the Earth's activity. Life seems to become a little smaller, easier to wrap your head around. So, of course, I'm inspired to write...

46 hours worth of lessons

Day becomes night and
Night becomes day
To watch it, the mystery passes away

The veil is now lifted,
The curtains now split
This world doesn't seem to be such a good fit

With my eyes open wide
and my heart on my sleeve
Now it feels like I'm standing here waiting to leave

When the bigness of life
Has become something small
I open the book, and there's one name to call

Our King is still sitting there
High on His throne
He gives the only peace I've ever known

So to all who are out there
With worry and fright
Just remember that God is still God tonight
