Quietude

     Oftentimes there're

when one feels forlorn 

  and down and out. 

       At other times 

  skies are luminous 

       sun shimmers 

  through every pore, 

        life appears 

    absolutely sublime. 

            Hang on to 

        happy moments 

   through hard times. 

            The memories 

            you cleave to 

     bring in its entourage 

            serenity of mind.
