Analysis of Smile
Smile
One could dream of having
multiple dreams come true.
If I could only have one dream realized,
It would be to smile forever…
Rainbows, birds singing in their nest,
The wind embracing my skin,
Even the mysteries of graveyards
would let me smile.
Smile at the dreams that only money can buy,
the sanctuary of the family,
family being your love, and home.
What is a smile?
It is a feeling, it arouses what it produces.
Zygomaticus, the facial muscle responsible,
What a beautiful word!
The universe and its galaxies…
Being part of something so…
Just Smile!
Feeling safe and at ease.
Children playing, just being children…
I once cried so hard, I laughed.
I later laughed so hard, I cried.
Who knows why?
Everyone wishes for the answer to everything.
Not knowing, perhaps,
is the part that keeps it going.
The fact that someone once told me,
“You can not change the world”
The fact that I can not keep from trying!
Smile at infinite potentials?
Smile at even sadness and fears?
How liberating…
To dream of everything,
to dream of every possible possibility there is,
to discover the most undiscoverable,
to see everything that is anything
with the same passion, Smile.
The moon affects the tides,
118 elements make up the universe,
quantum physics, and never endings.
Never wonder about growing up.
Never worry about not figuring it out.
Smile, at the knowledge
that not all can be done this very moment.
“History repeats itself”,
the wonders of our world,
ants being so perfect at being themselves,
the hypnotizing scent of lilacs blooming in spring.
What a smile!
Desire to smile…
Smile knowing that the gift of
smiling is forever yours!
