Lesson 12

A stranger has come
and brought with her the gift of smiles
long forgotten, but now known

to be within reach. A hair’s breadth.
Hair flowing in the wind. The smell
ambrosial. What gift it is

to be alive, to have a heart,
and not be swept under the tunnel
of judgment. To greet

everyday like it is a blank page
or a canvas
where paradise can be made

out of nothing more
than just
a beautiful smile.
