Interludes of intermittent smiles spot the cloudy skies like sun rays
They often weaken quickly,
unsustainable, as they all are.
We dare not discount them on such grounds,
especially the involuntary ones
recognized as genuine by grateful onlookers.
Sudden ones splash faces
with a flash of teeth,
while others slowly widen corners of mouths,
so easily discerned in their uniform spontaneity.
I saw one aloft a windswept dress,
uncovered by breeze-blown strands of long hair
streaming from the jubilant pace of its host;
it was a delightful sight.
