Smile


Smile

It's like an isle
Surrounded by face
Caught up in it's own space
Secretly happy by it's own grace.
Do you smile?

Try it
Smiling relieves the tension
of life's pace
When we are all caught up
in life's race

If you smile,
I'll smile with
you

There are different smiles
like grins laced with sin
Be careful, they'll do you in

Or smirks
Surrounded by lurks
Whatcha' hidin'?
What's inside?

On again and off again
While a comedian spins
His weaves of
Tales
Causing us to crackup
Even after he's wrapped up

Words and Trees (r)

April showers brings May flowers

I know it's cliche, but we are
in the great Northwest where it
rains all the time, so it rains all
of the other months as well.

The outcome, the beautiful green you see all around you.

Some other beautiful things in life; seeing through the storms and the rains of life to all of the beauty the "it" creates - like fighting to understand someone you have a misunderstanding with; the harmony is unsurpassed.
