Hush!

I never said I was perfect.
I never said my life was perfect.
I simply expect goodness.
I simply unleash the happy.
I simply offer a positive spin.
There are days, however,
when life is cloudy and rainy and cold
and I'm not in any way speaking
about the weather.
This is when I become quiet.
Hush!
This is when I become still.
Hush!
This is when I breathe.
Hush!
I know that there is goodness.
I know that there is kindness.
I know that there is joy.
I know that there is love.
Listen.
Watch.
Pray.
Hush!

It's there.
