When the questions stop and answers are no longer needed.
Silence will fill the space once held hostage to the sound.
Leaves will no longer fall from the tree.
Nevermore to blow in the wind.
The howling sound that will now fill your ears comes from within.
The black of night will last far beyond the dawn.
Every day will stretch into eternity.
Every hour will seem as an endless journey.
The waves will wash upon a shore that holds no sand.
The wind will blow over fields that have no grass.
Everywhere you look will be emptiness filled with sorrow.
That is what lies beyond today's tomorrow.
Take heart in the nuisances of today--they remind us that we remain.
Storms are natures way to clear the air--relish the wind and rain.
To walk an empty highway is a lonely thing to be sure.
When there is no path to follow is more than most can endure.~Jay O.
