National Poetry Day is every day - A Smile

                              A   SMILE


How long is a smile?
You can't measure it
in hours, days or seasons.


It doesn't translate
into any language
known to mankind.


It's the song of lips
and eyes and teeth
together in unison.


It's the seed
of an expression
planted in the skin.


It's the running
of an underground stream
heard beneath your heart.


A smile is as long
as you can't calculate
distance between one and one.
