What is in a smile,
the silent tongue we all know,
that creates a homely feeling?

An occurrence so quick—
it's infinite.

A defined word—
impossible to describe.

Your muscle tension—
a natural response—
a reflection of a lax face formerly grinning.

Strangers acquainted by a shared moment—
a second whose detail would take a lifetime to limn.

When an unexpected smile arises,
the heart—a light, whose brightness is love—
shines intensely, spreading warmly through body and soul,
*forever resplendent.
