the morning after

A melody of yesterday
haunts me today
sweet and soft the tune that was
the song brought life
to what was just an existence

Yesterday,
the sun revealed what was
veiled by darkness
everything was so perfect
until dusk came

Dusk descended upon the perfection
so suddenly
darkness slowly hid
the beauty of the land
darkness conquered my joy

The night seems so long
I yearn to bring joy
back to me
Joy, so elusive
sorrow resides in my heart
Alas, sorrow claimed my soul

Death is not far behind
sorrow slowly claims
my life
death lurks
in the shadows

I refuse to give in
without seeing the sun rise
A last glimpse
of my joy
Before it again
gives way to sorrow

All I can do now
is wait with joyful anticipation
the sorrowful sunrise...
