Thousand Watt Smile


This neighborhood young girl I know
has reached her life’s terminal very early,
with the rogue cancer cells creeping in her lungs,
taking away the wonderful world from her.

Floating on comatose mist she hears her breath say
 ‘fight on until you reach the edge of hope’.
She tells mother, ‘freeze me like you held me in womb
until they find a cure for me.

I would then emerge from the spell of hibernation 
as a pristine bud in the gorgeous garden of my world’.
With a thousand watt smile flickering on her frail face
she closed her eyes to drift into dreams.
