Our congratulations to Lili and Peter Hart on their diamond wedding anniversary. Peter and Lili were married shortly after the Second World War ended and Peter had more than an interesting war time. His story, Journey into Freedom was first published by us 2½ years ago. Then this year we published their collective works of short stories and poems entitled Tales in Tandem

To commemorate the momentous event of 60 years togther we publish Lili's latest poem. Enjoy!

Thoughts in the Night

by Lili Hart

Our thoughts are still free
They brook no barriers
Like a busy bee
They are message carriers.

Thousands of pictures
Flit past in a minute
The mind has no strictures
No censorship limit.

All mixed up together
Without logic it seems
We do not know whether
To interpret our dreams.

Will truth sift from fiction?
When future and past
Are joined with conviction?
We wake up aghast.

It's four in the morning
We shift to and fro.
We sense a forewarning,
Unease through and through.

So much in our lives
We could have averted
If husbands and wives
By wisdom alerted

Possessed in their youth
Years of knowledge they've gathered,
The cognition of truth,
Many storms could be weathered.

Throughout sunshine or shower,
With harmony from within
Only love has the power
Life's battle to win!
