The Smile
copyright ©2003 by Stephen Craig
It seems
like a dream now,
the first night
I passed this way.
A dream
now lost amid
a thousand other nights.

I saw a smile that night
that held me captive
it seems almost forever.
So back I came
time and time again
to drink in
the wonder of that smile.

Life took me
on a long and winding journey,
always looking
for the meaning of that smile,
until the journey
became a meaning unto itself.

Then suddenly,
I found myself
once again sitting here,
now drinking in
the wonder of your smile.
