Smile
Words travel slow
No matter how
We craft the flow
Right here and now
Thought feels so stiff
In awkward dread
When logic drifts
In jerky spread.
Feed then a smile
That works its best
In simple style
Sweet pun and jest.
There are places
Where words will fail
The clear spaces
Where charm prevails.
So use words well
To string logic
But see craft spell
In bold magic.
There comes a time
When words must fall
As mystic rhymes
Go beyond gall.
Style then a smile
That takes you far
To glimpse worthwhile
Love's brilliant star.
Place beyond place,
Joy within joy,
Space beyond space,
Bliss funds all ploys.
