It really isn’t anything But it is everything all the same It is that which is simple in life Just a wink, smile, or a wave To most, it is nothing To some, it is elation We all have our dreams Of a wink, smile, or a wave It matters not where it occurs It only matters who A glowing essence forms From just a wink, smile, or a wave The eyes meet The heart flutters For that fleeting moment, it is More than a wink, smile, or a wave In that moment, it is life More powerful than any drug Sweeter than a kiss Simply a wink, smile, or a wave And all too soon it is over The instant passes But the memory remains Of a wink, smile, or a wave It makes a day It leaves a warm feeling inside The sun shines a little bit brighter Just a wink, smile, or a wave Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why they call it the present. |

What can I say? I really like this idea, it expresses what a lot of people are thinking and feeling just walking down the street. It is a very nice piece. It's just not really my thing, so I can't offer much advice on what to change about it. Sorry Jason, and thanks once again for sharing. ~Caitlin Hull~ "The Holy Spirit makes up all our souls, and when it 'flexes' it makes us do great things." |

We all want to be appreciated. I hear that one must learn to appreciate oneself before having the ability to accept the appreciation of others. |

It matters not where it occurs It only matters who Words that apply to love as well. *S* I enjoyed your poem... it left the warm feeling of a wink, smile, or a wave received through the monitor... *S* |

Myself, I prefer the wink... there is just something downright sexual about it. Wonderful write. "Death marks the beginning, not the end. It is our journey to God." --Billy Graham |
