routine and smiling


Routine is a danger
It’s so easy to slip into it, as easy as it is to catch yourself smiling 
To slip into a routine is to fall into bed soon before you need to get up again
How warm it is
How easy
Welcome
To sweet sweet
Familiarity.

I like smiling
It’s universal
How much can be said in one facial expression
Is limitless to the possibilities of the wandering imagination
One who has never smiled at a stranger and gotten a smile back is one
Who will never know the significance of a butterfly’s wings
One who has never smiled back at a stranger is one
Who will never understand the complexity of a gentle flower petal
As it floats in the iris
Of a ray of
Sunshine
