A Pride Full Smile
A single smile can open bolted doors
uncork expensive champagne
put balm on broken souls
chase lightning and thunder away.
A single smile can stop wars
sprinkle a little hope
blunt the tusk of the boar,
give tarp and a tea to the homeless
lay a flower on a long forgotten stone
a smile can send death over the cliff
shine light into the pits of a jagged mind
change hardened hearts into diamonds...
but a smile can also hide a dagger
or a pride of famished lions.
