Colon and a Capital D


Smile for no reason.

Let your strawberry lips swing

into that simple silly grin.

Let your eyes light up

like the silvery glimmer 

of the sun stretching out

on a mirrors lens.

Let your laugh cascade 

through the placid room.

Let your rose-apple cheeks

bob up like buoys in the

salty sea, and

smile for no reason.

Smile becaus eyou can.
