After This

After This Somebody said, there’ll be a morning after But it will always be, preceded by the night Escorting morning, re-emerging laughter Beleaguered souls, once again takes flight Sometimes, those nights were dim and long Loved ones lament, with no sound, no song Delaying the birth of a brand new day Thoughts all in turmoil, yet quietly pray An emotional yet triumphant moment For her, a journey beyond the firmament Her night has ended, gone her tiresome load Finally in that celestial city, her eternal abode Somebody succinctly said, life goes on Yes in our hearts, but ultimately gone A gratified façade our emotions to hide New day, bright sunshine, yet cold outside
