By Jove...Zeus cleft Eos tacit alibi
pact wrought since time
     immemorial bye and bye
temporarily, symbolically,

     and unwaveringly
     superstitions, phenomenal mysteries
     jaw dropping eve vents out of sky
explained where within fie

foo fighting mythological
     pantheon, the dualistic forces
     of light and dark
     didst die whar,

yours truly did e'er lee ask why,
and simultaneously warily eye,
whence no idea why
aboot twelve hours prior,

     predictable regular
     tug of war try
ensued, when twilight didst sigh
leant lee enshroud

     the dusky sky
light speedily seeped away,
     hence nightly raiment
     of Astraeus predictably quashed,

     nee wrested with nary a cry
this September twenty ninth,
     unusual wakefulness state
     crafted golden opportunity

     didst nudge me fort hoo try
to maximize spate of bright
     tailed and bushy eyed,
     state, which rare

     quotidian event, I
unfortunately rarely espy,
cuz my circadian rhythm
     usually well nigh

finds me sound asleep at least
     til mid morning this guy,
thus flush with more
     energy than usual aye

make a feeble (minded) attempt
     to nudge, kickstart, and coalesce,
     viz nebulous thoughts within my
fog enshrouded noggin

     unable, unaccustomed,
     and unwillingness
     relented for me to pry
opened tightly shut – cubed bricked

     hermetically sealed
     steel trap eyelids
     ocular orbs didst defy
Herculean dramaticattempt

     yielded futile tussle,
     where outcome brought
     stellar surprise high
***, a spectacular dawn
     scene rarely seen by this guy.
