Or Natural Smiles

In just a few more hours
Tears will fall like icy diamonds
Down to where no one dreams anymore
No more carefree laughter
Or natural smiles,

Recalling faded smokes and ragged shapeless yesterdays

Were they thoughts or only voiceless words
Strung across mirror skies like cloudless summer caressing
To never know her dresses of winter snow only guessing
She was somewhere far from safe, she stirs

The Night tides rolling in from shores afar
From star struck deeps to a world on fire

He counts the backward breaths escaping life's restraints

For just a few more hours
Like icy diamonds tears will fall
Down to where none shall dream anymore
No more carefree laughter
Or natural smiles ,

Your poem immediately took my to Ukraine. Somehow I don't think that is where your words were aimed/born... but it just goes to show how an enigmatic grouping of poetic words, can slot into the jigsaw of life wherever it is being pieced together.
Bravo!
