The smile
12.28.06 (7:17 pm) [edit]
A smile often hides what is deep,
Secrets kept, keeping others at bay,
Language not known to express the joy or pain
Felt from the center of the soul.
Healing, wounding, consumes the soul
Seeking ways to express what is felt,
Frustration often the fruit in finding someone to listen.
Yes so much hidden behind a simple smile.
Our depth is perhaps infinite connecting us to God,
Prayer being instinctive when words fail to arise,
Only the infinite can take the joy and pain;
Understanding all,
Without a word being spoken.
