No Longer Poem by JJ Evendon

No longer do I sit alone and weep.
No longer do I dream never to wake from sleep.
For there's a new dawn soon to rise
now will remove the darkness from my eyes.
A dawn that will bring new and pleasant things.
A dawn that always makes birds sing.

No longer do I sit in the dark shadow of life.
No longer will I miss the love that was once my wife.
For the sun has risen in its glory, to soon shine above
and now lifts with it, my hope of finding a new love.
A sunrise that always awakens a new dawn.
A sunrise that will always keep me warm.

No longer do I sit and let life go by.
No longer shall I let my zest for life become dry.
For the sun has released my shackles that once bound my spirit
and now I am free and ready to explore the world, and everything in it.
A day that always shines to lighten my path.
A day that will always see me through and make me laugh.

No longer do I lie awake at night.
No longer am I afraid to switch off the light.
For the moon that shines over a landscape where dreams are made
and now sets my life to a place where I want to live each day.
A night that always passes in harmony with my soul.
A night that brings a new dawn where happiness is its goal.
