A New Dawn I Found

New Dawn I Found New dawn I found the grass was dying, trash littered the yard my soul was deeply crying for life so, so very hard. New dawn I found emptiness was my reward, dark misery was flying feet cut on a glass shard strangers sat there lying. New dawn I found shadows fleeing by the score, truth life was denying desperate heart wanted more than heartache and crying New dawn I found my lost soul speaking, find any path far away hurt badly but seeking joy's return some day. New dawn I found light there was streaming, glimpses of promise I was not just dreaming given was sweet solace. New dawn I found path beckoning my spirit, onward into the light music sweet, I can hear it clean soul took flight. New dawn I found I was back in my home, family by my side never again will I roam never again will I hide. Robert J. Lindley, 01-02-2016
