I was lying on my couch,
a soft pillow 'neath me, pressed.
I sought mellowness and peace of mind;
a time of quiet rest.

But my mind would not be slow.
Though my body's tension fell,
I continued to revisit all, that day,
which went, not well.

Both computers misbehaved.
My frustration was extreme!
And I felt that torment once again;
so vivid, it did seem!

There were disks which would not load.
My creations stored in each;
locked away and inaccessible,
beyond my des'prate reach.

There was software, would not run;
seems that nothing e'er goes smooth.
All those messages on screen were kind
but still, that failed to soothe.

So, I left it all behind!
...Thought a short reprieve, I'd take.
And I drove into the stormy night;
my quest, a dinner break.

...Would run errands after that,
as some, done needed to be.
But my truck then made a "clunking" noise
when turn, I did, the key.

T'was a day quite filled with stress
and my mind reviewed it all!
While my body lay in comfort,
in my mind, there was a squall!

Seems I swooped to find again
just those trials I'd met, that day,
like a falcon aimed devotedly
to nothing but its prey.

Too much clutter clogged my brain;
it monopolized the view.
So I pushed it all away--be gone!.
And filled the void with YOU!

And I dwelt upon the parts
of the day which you were in.
Then I felt a calmness taking hold.
It bloomed from deep within.

And such stillness came to me;
made me feel serene, at last.
All the restless thoughts were forced to leave;
aside, they were all cast!

How much nicer was this state!
What a change! How far the leap!
With my mind now full of thoughts of you,
I drifted off to sleep.
