like a string heaving the mass of the heavens
as the ends curl and the eyes glimmer
the sun burns through a thick shadow
a radiant beam, a spark in the brush
scowls outnumber but cannot outweigh
infectious as ever, we all want the love
but someone must always ignite the flame
a brow so furrowed per chance wants a break
alleviate the burden it so often bears
age is just numbers, why are you counting?
show your true colors, oh guarded one
look to another and summon your charm
it doesn't take much to make someone's day
a crease in the cheeks, a wiggle of ears
one tiny smile can tear through the rest
