Overnight Minds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Given...
Overnight,
Minds.
That open...
As if closed window blinds.
Something was given...
Without a reason or rhyme,
To open eyes wider...
Like they had been baptised.

No Sun blocking to be gotten,
Has prevented thoughts to stop.
Given...
To unlock many minds.
With them to open,
As if they had been blind.

Overnight awareness started,
Lifting heads from bobbing nods.
Given...
Overnight minds.
With knowledge...
Once knocking it to find.

No Sun blocking to be gotten,
Has prevented thoughts to stop.
Given...
To unlock many minds.
With them to open,
As if they had been blind.

Given...
Overnight,
Minds.
That open...
As if closed window blinds.
Something meant from heaven sent,
Without a reason or rhyme...
To open eyes wider,
Like they had been baptised.
With it and given...
Wisdom.
With it to give...
Overnight!
