Smile



you can smile
with words
with a voice
with a touch

the power of a smile
can shine the sun
on a sad dark heart
transforming it
to soaring bird song

everyone needs
a person in their life
the thought of whom
brings a smile
a brief moment of joy
in a murky world

  5. I count myself in nothing else so happy
    As in a soul remembering my good friends.

  6. Smiles are contagious, and may require some time in bed to recover from.

  11. We have a lot of power to build up or demolish with just a facial expression. How sobering to think about.

  12. A smile can bring light to a dark spirit, or find another smile to hold communion.
