Poetry Book - Hardback: WHEN MIDNIGHT COMES TO CALL is an intimate, illuminating portal into the heart and soul of poet John J. Kennedy. It is an enlightening compilation of poems written over the years and through the various stages of his life. WHEN MIDNIGHT COMES TO CALL is a poetic kaleidoscope of self-discovery, profound grief and loss, love, passion, spiritual transformation, prophesies and miracles. It is brutally honest, gut-wrenching, heartwarming, and beautifully written. John sees poetry as a divine gift; a canvas on which to express his inner-most thoughts and feelings. And through this gift, it has brought him back from the brink of an abyss many times; from family betrayal, the murder of his beloved sister and the suicide of a former lover. It is also a celebration of life.

WHEN MIDNIGHT COMES TO CALL is a poetic, mystical and inspiring testimony of the resilience of one man, through thorns and roses, peaks and valleys, rising and falling, the dark night of the soul and the triumph of the human spirit. InvisibleInvincibleHidden forceDid shepherd meWhen darkness came to callSource of lightWhispered whirlsOf angel hairThat guided me by the nightA cup half fullNow runneth overAs I recall my plightDid the Hand of Providence Not cradle the wounded sparrowTrapped in a barbed-wire nestWith thickets of thornsAnd broken branchesFrom the family treeDid love not lay in waitFor the rising of the stormDark and murky watersThat tainted the soilAnd lay infertile burden upon the soul.Yes, love awaitsThe twist of fateThe writing on the wallWhen roses bloom in May and JuneAnd midnight comes to call ~ Excerpt from When Midnight Comes To Call.
