Everlasting peace

Sometimes ever the simplest pleasure can bring me everlasting smile
The smell of a half baked cake
A half written poem
A new edition of a girl magazine
A ringing phone
A song with a familiar lyric on the radio
The last word of a long paper
A funny email from a faraway friend
A two for five sale of baskin robbins ice cream
The smell of vidal sasoon shampoo on my newly dried hair
How I wish those times last forever
In some other times when none can take away the sorrow
In those times when none can ease the emptiness
During those times when none can create even the weakest smile
How I wish those times were all replaced
With the times when even the simplest pleasure can bing me everlasting peace
