Your Smile
I see you smile at me
through the transparent barrier
as you pass by.
For a moment all seems possible.
Do you know your heart
shines in your eyes?
I wrap a smile into my bouquets.
Suddenly ming fern and purple iris
look so right together…
and then I must count the cost.
Our smiles are free, but more than that
will have a price indeed!
