Hopeful Rest

In the midst of this dark storm,
we found ourselves an island.
Unattainable quiet
has silenced life's harsh demands.
Focusing on happiness
has been a delight unplanned.
Laughter has been my gift,
touched by its infectious hand.
If only we could stay more
upon this island of rest.
We have been given something
I never thought of or guessed.
A whisper of peace alights,
calming the inner tempests
showing me hope has been here
waiting to make its conquest.
