The Smile of Life

The smile of life I saw her coming her translucent body wrapped in morning dew and then with a wisp and a wave her slender arms gathered the wind and carefully laid the veil of light about her shoulders she then brushed her hair with the wind that flowed like a river of light reflecting sunshine and in the night, stars, and with the radiant smile of a half moon, she bid me – Adieu. © Brenda V Northeast 3 Dec. 2008
