Listen to poem:

The Sunrise of a Nevermore

The Sunrise of a Nevermore 
David J Walker

From here the sunsets closer than ever before
The deep rays quicken long-off memories

Removed to the distant shore 
The fabled days of youth are no more
As I turn and realize 

The light in my eyes
Was once the sunrise 

Of an opening door
That I have traversed 

But never more
