I found my smile in amongst old friends
The ones who know you no matter how little is said in audible words
A warm expression of nostalgia and love that plums years of history

I found my smile in the summer sun
Aloft a rock beyond the river, high amongst the trees and cicadas
The warmth of yellow light deep in my skin, breeze cooling the surface

I found my smile in the middle of nowhere
Along a rocky and winding road that leads to an old inn with worn steps, warm hearts, cold beer, red wine
My frame filled by love and serenity beneath the shade of a tree long grown
