Writers Workshop: A Smile (Mouth)

03.27.23 | Food for the Soul

Below is a piece from our Writers Workshop about the power of a smile and how it can transform a person.

A Smile (Mouth)

When you smile

it means your heart

has been touched,

the feeling-gladness, sorrow, love.

 

I was a bit dreary, sad, empty.

 

Then I thought of my Joy

of being alive-

to know in my heart

that I’m the life of a life.

 

Once a smile begins to formulate

in the inner landscapes of your being,

it radiates into warmth and roundness

of your lovely red lips – a round dimple is noted, round

when you smile.
