Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

A Smile That Is Mine

A blank wall tells a story with many themes..
                         As a transparent look speaks without words though it seems..

                            With a blink of an eye I can write of life and how it flows..
                     And with a turn of my head I can follow highs and sprinkled lows..

                   When we walk with our heads down we stumble, but not at our feet..
                     We just miss what the horizon has given, and a new day to meet..

                          The blank wall now has splashes of this Poets painted lines..
                              And a voice seen and heard from a smile that is mine..
