Serenade

Traces of pain haunt your reveries, 
veils of sadness your beautiful face;
you're where demons of wretchedness 
render you helpless, where fear is 
relentless and respite seems light years away;
where love is improbable, dreams become 
nightmares that gnaw at your soul like a 
nagging regret. Glimmers of promise 
will lighten your sad heart and visions of 
gladness will one day come true; 
believe in your goodness, this badness will fade
and you'll sing once again to love's sweet serenade.

Sounds like she's having computer problems Keith. I was veiled in sadness all day yesterday and Today my computer is better and yes, I am singing! :)
