Reflection of a smile

i saw a smile on a daisy and on
a sunflower, today, when then the
sun touched them with its fingertips
their smiles were cast upon their feet

and i watched the sparkle of water on a
running stream as silhouettes danced
from the maple and oak standing on its
banks admiring their reflection unabashedly

a curious robin flies o’er and rests
on a limb of the oak to see what they’re
admiring and it too sees its reflection
and begins to whistle with glee

as i sat down i heard the whisper of
the wind say to me…’if you look into the
stream your reflection will be carried to
the river’s end  onto the sea when then the
moon at night will share its smile in perpetuity’
