It talks to me, sings to me, though it never utters a word, It lifts me up, up, up, though it doesn’t have any arms and makes the unseen spin inside always and ever to music I never ever can hear. Without any hands it touches my, oh, so tender spot and silently wipes away a tear I thought to forever ignore and there are secrets, yes indeed, that I feel but don’t really know hiding somewhere behind the curve. It’s only a smile, a beguiling smile, and so very wicked and “nice” but one day it shuffled its feet and moved to the far other side of my inherent insight and it did all that without any legs. A smile, a smile, amazing smiles, they’re magicians in their own right! Helen / 28 May 2009 |

I'd bet you hear the music of a smile. Oh, yes, you do, you know you do. |

I like the idea of a smile being a glimpse into ones soul. True, they can be decieving at the same time. Good to ponder this poem of yours. |

Thanks so much everyone. I greatly appreciate your comments and, Margherita, that smile I wrote about ... shuffled it's feet but such is the way of smiles. Helen |

As they say ~ "A smile begets a smile!" ~ and your poem of smiles has me smiling as well!  May you reap as many smiles as you radiate out into the world! Love, hugs, 'n smiley faces, Linda  |

It’s only a smile, a beguiling smile, and so very wicked and “nice” Dear Helen, as long as you keep smiling your days will be bright. A brilliant smile will open most doors in this not so happy world. May the sun keep shining for you. love and a big hug. Lindsay |
