No More!

Elation rising from depths in my soul
too deep to measure, submitting control
to a spirit of freedom where whitewaters roll

in vehement floods and torrential rains,
succumbing to joys instead of the pains
where healing is felt and laughter is lain.

A changing of seasons, the currents and tides
come crashing in waves where shores cannot hide
anymore from the grace that makes tears subside

as the night breaks to day, and shadows flee
as the sun breaks thru clouds to shine upon me
with a warmth and a glee glowing radiantly.

“No more!” to the chaos and tragedy’s play —
“No more!” to the lies that sweep love away —
“No more!” to the night that won’t turn to day —

“No more!” to the scheming of adulant ploys —
“No more!” to the days that my soul can’t enjoy —
“No more!” to the cunning and crafty and coy —

“No more!” to the heaviness weighing me down —
“No more!” to the silence that won’t make a sound —
“No more!” to the loneliness lingering around —
“No more!” to the heart that won’t cry out for more —
“No more! No more! No more! No more!”
