Your smile floated on a wave
Sparkling and shimmering
As if it had absorbed the sun.
It made me smile too,
Watching you shine
But, then I stopped as you
Floated further until I could
No longer see you
But still, I reached out, arms stretching
Turning, twisting away
As what reason now did I have to smile
Trying, fighting, losing
Until I dropped like a stone and sank
Into the mud
As your shine cast its beams
Elsewhere.
