The Springtime in Your Smile

Lonely grey-scatter clouds,
darkest memories,
and cascading sorrows
skim the bleak November
horizon near a pallid sunset
toward the vanishing point
   of Time
on this pensive, yearning
flicker of a moment in
   the ‘now’
when one feels lost,
like a spirit in a mirage
within a dream, and
reflects upon all the
‘should-have-beens’
of chance and youth
misspent along the
irrevocable path into
the Winter of this life.
Yet pure and wondrous
hope rises once again
from all ruins of past
with the vast unedged
wonder of a new love
and  the gentle, eternal
Springtime in your smile.
