xliii - No Longer

No longer

Will I stand in the rain

Of my own tears


No longer

Will I drown

The pain of yesterday

In today's waves


For i will be accepting

Of me, myself and I


Gardens we've nourished

Are now places of despair

And the flowers we nurtured

All shredded and freed

By this quarantine air


There isn't better time then now

To trust no voice

But my own
