There's a smile inside
I can find it when I'm alone
in a cafe when it rains.
When I pratfall and no one notices.
It's a wonderful new place unexplored
or the flaw in an ancient vase.
I catch it in the mirror.
It's a face I can't practice.
It's not full of fear
or double thought.
It's the fresh path that leads
to new stimulus.
And I don't mind being alone.
John Kipling Lewis
