I Still Believe In Promises
Hope Is Persuasive
Promises don't always bring happy,
hope isn't always good news.
Romance is much more than sappy,
happiness can be found in the blues.
Forever can just mean tomorrow,
longing can last more than your life.
Joy rises out of the sorrow,
resolution can come out of strife.
Goodbyes don't mean forever,
hellos usher in a farewell.
Friendships make for good lovers,
some lovers will put you through hell.
Words often mean more than one thing,
tones always tell you the truth.
Some words unexpectedly, sting,
others bring pleasure and soothe.
Never give up on the pursuit,
life is a beast that you can tame.
Pay attention to remain astute,
try your hand at adventures word-game.

When Hummingbirds Pause
When manic relaxes a moment and frantic finally slows down When havoc has pause to rejuvenate and crazy takes a break and sits down When slumber softly serenades silly and chaos carefully caresses serene When the hummingbirds find rest from it's humming in the stillness that comes from between When fine fuzzy feathers cease flapping reasons to rest make their way back around When silence truly is golden needs are met, without making a sound

Well said and so true, excellent piece!
Beautiful and meaningful. Well done.
Love Love Love
Excellent poem , touched by the message
This was very well done! The flow was incredibly natural and related the message perfectly. Not too much or too little.
Words of truth, though often it does not feel like it.
