Ghazal

Before all time, the void and dark made night
Until a spark became a light in night.

God made the stars and all the planets right
And hung them up for everybody's night.

God made a man of clay to walk upright
And girl from rib of man to love at night.

God made the feet to walk, the mouth to talk
He made the work for day, the sleep for night

Man chose to please himself, build selfish might
As God looked on with tears at sick man's night

God offers love to all who choose the right
Forgave all men for sin to leave the night.

And now God calls his sheep into his sight
And poet Newell will pen the day and night.

Thank you, floria, for your kind words. A ghazal (pronounced "guzzle' is old Persian form of poetry. Each poem is written in a series of couplets. Each couplet is an independent poem, although a thematic continuity may develop. To learn more about it go to http://www.ghazalpage.net/information/ghazals.html  
Glad you liked.
