And Then You Smiled |

And Then You Smiled My head was bowed in deep concern with fretful thoughts that spin and churn And as I walked, I could not see For troubles would not set me free And then you smiled, as I passed by and looked into my woeful eye unleashing joy from deep inside that drew a smile I could not hide No spoken word, just gleaming eyes that captured me like midnight skies A stranger’s face, a sudden glee dissolved the things that worried me How small the gesture meant to please An inadvertent glance to ease a heavy heart. A little smile that made it all become worthwhile Elizabeth Santos 2/28/03 |

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

when I saw the title to this I smiled right away because I knew that any poetry coming from you.. especially with a title such as this(!) would bring a smile to my face. I wasn't disappointed in the least. Thank you Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
