For SLW <br /> <br />Just the time for some happiness <br />Every day needs some joy <br />Flowers or smiles or rays of hope <br />Finding peace in poetic decoy <br />Resilience in times of doubt <br />Even calm in stormy promise <br />Yes, Shakespeare <br />Said 'My heart is ever at your service.' <br />Even he knew the need <br />Need to know that one is cared for <br />Deepening and yearning <br />Staying through the learning <br />Hoping through the silence <br />Imagining through the reality <br />Staying through the void <br />A day like today <br />Demands a little token <br />Muses don’t work nine to five <br />I doubt they’re into joking <br />Reason flies from tired minds <br />A fact I see in action <br />Today I try to bring it back <br />Indeed find satisfaction <br />Onward, future, unveil your plan <br />Now I send flowers because I can. <br /> <br />(14 February 2006)<br /><br />Jeff Hobbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hidden-peace/
