smile with me

[mousey1]

I found this lonely place and there
I lounged
content forgotten
abandoned for all time
I found myself
fondled sweet pages
illicit writings
guarded life
acceptance
turned and whirled
exultant force
of truth unwound
and lies unbound deceit

surround me where the sun sets deep
and fades away

from night to day
exist

and in the corner
shadowed by a world at play
I twirl my hair and find sometimes
a reason
just to sit and smile
despite the times and seasons

smile with me

[Jenni Mansfield Peal]

I like the implication that I join you in a smile when I bring my experiences of beauty to color the moment, a moment that we naturally share because we're both here on earth at the same time. If everybody did that it would be like a collective consciousness smile based on billions of rememberences of joy.

Hi Jenni, so thrilled you popped in

and bringing such wisdom

the thought of "a collective consciousness smile"

now there's something worth smiling for

I like it when smiles are catchy, passed on like colds from face to face

often they end up mutating into or or I love it when they're...
or

thank-you for coloring the moment.
