It begins with a smile.

Twenty-two gut-wrenching, spiriting thrusting rolla-costas

Fifty-something brain-freezing, rainbowful ice creams

Eighty-nine exhilarating fights, races, competitions

Hundred fulls of buckets of fundles, jumbles, giggles

And one heart-warming, ubiquitous mother to wrap it all

 

And it continues with a rain.

A soft pitter, a light patter

A compliment of brazen flashes

Some bright screams from the melting sky

A drowning cry of desperation that exceeds it all

And one heart-warming, ubiquitous mother to wrap it all

 

Suddenly it breaks into a shown oppression of darkness.

It breaks into light

It breaks into joy

And it breaks into more more more broken tears, shattered braces

And finally it breaks

Because one heart-warming, ubiquitous mother to wrap it all

Is gone

 

And it ends with a smile.

But not immediately

There’s still a drowning pain

There’s still a suffering in a sea of none

But there’s also a droning bright blink

And a chance to wrap it all back.
