It's Such A Simple Act To Do.



Catch a smile,
they are out there
almost everywhere,
like butterflies
flitting between
rosy cheeks.

Stretch your
newly found bounty
across your own face,
and  then share what
you've collected.

Too many frowns
crawl like fat
caterpillars across
those coccooned
in their own sorrows.

Give them wings to fly
bent upward in flesh hope.

The world can be
so much more beautiful
with just a twitch,
of a pair of lips.

Catch a smile,
then let it go,
and watch it flower
all around you.

    that is beautiful. I love smiles...they can infect you, then infect another, and another...your humble smile traveling the world, eventually circling back to you, again, in your time of need....
    Loved it. well done.
