No Longer
Don't let this be
A line of poetry you wrote
In a forgotten notebook
You left beneath your bed
Don't let this be
A stanza mouthed to music
Used, now uselessly mute
On disenchanted lips
Don't let this be
A boundless ballad bound
For less when fashions pass
And kings no longer listen
Instead forget
What castles collapsed
Beneath the ruthless surf
That keeps advancing
Instead please sing,
Not write in lifeless ink,
The lyrics written 'cross your soul
That keeps on shining
Instead become
The timeless tale told
With the refrain, that sun or rain
No longer are you 'lone.
