All is Good,

John Smither
All is good, now that I feel free

All it took was a welcoming smile

All I need is to be able to see

All I ask is to live in paradise

All I do is ignore the news

All I wish for is to write

At last I am able to write

At least I am now free

At length I will check the news

At once I begin to smile

At night I look out on paradise

At all the beauty I see

As I look in awe at all I see

As amazed as I am at all I write

As I believe I have arrived in paradise

As all around people are free

As they all happily smile

As one at the news

An image of the news

An idea that we can see

An overwhelming smile

An inspiration to write

An urge to remain forever free

An island simply called paradise

Are our values in paradise?

Are all of these issues news?

Are we each of us wishing we were free?

Are we able to clearly see?

Are any of us ready to write?

Are these questions enough to bring a smile?

Any thoughts on radiating a smile

Any views on seeking paradise

Any words suitable to write

Any plaudits for the news

Any visions that I see

Any little thing that will set us free

All of us can be free, at the sight of a smile

As each of us can see an image of paradise

Are these things news, any chapters to write?

    Great poem my friend! The two main things that we need to be able to write are inspiration and persiration. If we have both of them, most times we can write something. Great work! Johnny Yuma

    Ah, questions, questions... Maybe expressing questions in such a lyrical manner is part of an answer... :)

    Whether all this beauty and a welcoming smile is "news" can be debated. But is it something to write about? You bet'cha! Keep on bringing us this wonderful kind of news, John!
