smiles that slipped..... post no. 8



Footsteps, small and big
Smiles, wary and bright
Faces, happy and sad
Stress, ready to bite

Heart followed the face,
Mind followed the footsteps,
Smiles slipped mid way
And landed on to stress

Crumpled up along the way,
I saw a small sigh.
Someone trampled all over it
and it  became all stifled and dry

Go find those smiles,
Clenched between the teeth of stress,
Ask it to climb on to the faces
And sit, all bright and smug…..
