Lips curled up at the corners
decorate a thankless day,
wrapping friendship around
lonely hearts and altering moods.
A smile can evaporate a welling tear
before it streams down the souls canvas,
staining the vibrant pigments
that breathes life into a spirit.
A smile coaxes music from a silent instrument
offers trust to the broken and scarred,
it drips its healing nectar
on the open sores of the world.
