The sky is shimmering!
The sun’s rays resonate for miles!
What a beautiful day,
But no one smiles
Something so pure, so precious
An expressive style
A source of happiness and wonder
Yet not one smile
Bland faces
Blank stares,
Gray colors,
No cares
Is it empty?
Can I make my plea?
One person, one person
Please set me free!
Did I ask for too much?
Oh don’t be absurd
One smile, one smile
Was all you preferred!
If that is so true,
Then I am defeated
And I’ll stand by my word
My soul depleted
As the wind wisps my hair
And my body takes the leap,
I close my eyes, my heart
And begin to weep
Encompassed by the waves
I will float on
Unmoving, unsettled
I am forever gone
Some ask me why
And the answer is clear,
For a day without a smile
Is not one worth to persevere
This was written as a ballad. A lot of times I think rhyme schemes are a bit elementary....but it worked for this.
A little back story - I once heard that a man who had killed himself by jumping of the Golden Gate Bridge had left a note stating that if one person had smiled on his walk to the bridge he wouldn't commit suicide. No one did.....
And here we are.
