Oh, shimmering Jules!
What has happened, to your radiant glow;
and- why, dear, do you sound so sinister?
But- Jules, do you not know:
that some of thee most meaningful literature
has spawned out o' heartbreak and sorrow?
Has it not been shown: that- tis',
only, human nature to scribble scriptures
o' how we've lived beyond cloudy horizons-
and greeted each tomorrow with new wisdom
and a, truly, heartfelt smile?
(A heartfelt smile.)
I hope to see one return to your face-
if- even- it takes a while.
Seeing you this jaded, my dear,
is causing my peace o' mind to begin fading.
I hope you begin to feel better-
and- a smile you can find in the mirror,
sometime, in this ever-changing year.
