Hear a Smile


Gleaming white against the warmest brown Curves on either side Sometimes silent Sometimes filled with laughter Sent as a gift Or a virus that pervades everything Extremely contagious But highly sought after Resonating light From that simple groove Found almost anywhere But rarely truly there The embodiment of beauty Withheld in a flash While anticipation holds Until the next showing Occurring in a moment Possessing memories that will last a lifetime Bringing me back To all the places I have been Appearing magically With friendship With love Or even with a stranger No matter the cause It will always show When the time is in need Of that jovial glow However, it is only an image Of a whimsical smile That can be heard over the wire In our wireless world
