Contentment

As the night disappears from the stary sky,
I wonder what emotion are nigh,
It cannot be joy because it’s absent.
Alas it is satisfaction, it came and went
For now I seem content in my heart
As it will be a new start.
Is it enough who will say?
For one life to live and one price to pay.
For the future holds new joy, new sorrow
And with that sorrow, there is always tomorrow
To pick up the pieces and move through rebuff
As my life it is enough.
