O how shall I contentment find
Within the shadows of my mind
When all the world has lost its grace
For now it be a darker place –
No more to look upon his face
The days they pass in silent gloom
Here in the confines of this room –
This room in which we laughed and cried
Wherein I ever seek to hide –
This room where I alone abide
And as I look towards the light –
The light that shines beyond the night
I seek to find a brighter land
Where once the beauteous rainbow spanned –
Where once I held his gentle hand
A gentle hand that reached for mine
Outreaching thus to so entwine –
Where now the love that was so true?
The love that he and I once knew –
Full glist’ning as the morning dew
In solitude I watch the dawn
With heart bereft and so forlorn –
An empty sky the light betrays
Where nothing fills these soulful days
Shall I, no more, contentment praise …
Shall I, no more, contentment praise
