the secret of my smile

life's never easy,
but that's okay.
want to know why
i smile anyway?

i know a place,
i keep it inside.
words dance with colors,
as butterflies glide.

all that is fragile,
like rainbow-laced wings,
blows away dark clouds,
when it's the heartsong it sings.

so look for that place,
for you have it too.
it starts at a smile,
i do, will you?

------
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man
contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.

True enough...I agree!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie
