only a smile

lighten the heart,

chase away blues,

only a smile

win a friend,

lift the spirit,

only a smile

build an intensity,

encourager the weaker,

only a smile

   

point it this way,

joy for the day,

only a smile

what i know

I know I feel something within, deep inside,

changes, souls mantle shifting - inner tectonics unwind

or collide, growth passes withering, death exchanges life

there is a solid gratitude, thankfulness core

love's harvest arrives, lavish vibrations

happiness splits bone marrow

life wins again

it's momentary

It's momentary ~ It's eternal

It's microcosmic ~ It's galactic

 It's a song ~ It's a dialogue

It's a stretch ~ It's a contraction

It's a shout ~ It's a whisper

It's an announcement ~ It's a secret

It's loving warmth ~ It's cool refreshing

It's oceans ~ It's babbling brook

It's shared ~ It's a heart's good gift for one

It's a kiss

memory

Braced ~ Hopeful ~ 

We steeled our hearts ~ 

The aftermath came ~ 

Tears ~ Heartbreak ~ 

Steeled hearts soft and warm again.
