I take what solace I may
In the soft impersonal smoke
That curls from my cigarette;
In the warmth of the fire
That spreads its glow in benediction
About my chair;
In the companionship of silence,
Wherein my thoughts become the parents
Of illusion, born of dream.
In the sweet artistry of shadows,
And the deep intensity of hope.
From reflections on closed windows
That lock the darkness out,
And from reflections that are held
Close within the heart.
I treasure trivialities,
And seek peace in remembrance
Of greater things
That once were mine.

I love this pensive poem
I can see you very good
Even though it's
Smokyyyy!

Marvellous, Rex, your poetry touches the core of one's heart.Things that were once one's own, don't they in some corner of one's heart still remain ones own forever?
