New Day

I watch the leaves tumbling from the trees

Raindrops falling outside

Teardrops falling inside

The end of a day and our way

Sitting and thinking of past times

The infectious smile of my old friend

I hear whispers in my mind

Conversations I have no desire to share

I think of the laughs the cries entwined

My mind focuses on the chaos of this evening

Asking my questions of why knowing there will be no reply

Drifting in and out of slumber traveling the streams of time

Replaying events over and over in my mind

Brought back each time by the whispering

And the signs of life drifting away

Now time has no meaning it is forever

Only we are limited bright lights dimming to dark

Holding you here in my special place, there you will always be

I rise from my slumber only to feel you there beckoning

Walk with me one more time

The whispers grow louder as we began our walk

In silence, we walk no words as always we feel our thoughts

This day will be a beautiful day

Full of life sunrise bright, birds singing with new beginnings

After this night of falling rain and falling tears

All is fresh for a new start, one more day

I turn to see your smile as you begin to fade away

In my heart, I know this day will have new meaning

This time I know I was not dreaming

I hear no more whispers only the sound of your goodbye

As you tell me, do not cry

I turn to see you laying there only to feel the loss of something so rare

No more whispers no more sounds of time ticking away

Only the warmth of the sunlight beginning this new day

I leave the room and the deafening silence

Wanting the sunlight’s warmth to embrace, me console me

The sounds of the birds and the morning breeze

Freshness of the now clean air the beauty of a new day

In all of this, I still see you

In silence I walk with you in my thoughts

Only to be stopped by a voice softly calling my name

Saying no more tears, this is a new day

As I smile and continue to walk away
