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’
