The Peaceful Poet Poem by David McLansky

Your kindly diplomatic skills
Soothes my fears and deft fulfills
My expectations that I formed
In knowing you though not as long
As you know me in reading my
Poetic diary which I let lie
Open on the world wide web
As if I put it down beside my bed.
Thank you for your kindly thoughts
So artful in the way they're wrought;
All loves in newness overwhelms itself
And stumbles clueless in shock and stealth,
Alarmed to find its hopes fulfilled
In a world thought harsh and shrill.
Let's take a breath and renew are search
For one another on this earth;
For if staring longer in your eyes
Rewards us with a love that's prized,
Our efforts in such exploration
Will resolve all doubts and hesitation
And then can have that consummation
That exceeds all dreams of delectation..
