“A Smile Springs” by Trevor Witt

A smile springs from my lips,
Like a rubber band, snapped back into place,
After being stretched for too long.

A smile springs from my lips,
Like a stream of water from an underground cave,
Quenching the thirst of many along its way.

A smile springs from my lips,
Like Beatles’ lyrics twisting and shouting,
Returning to the sun, from yesterday.

A smile springs from my lips,
Though the brisk fall breeze brings a chill,
And I wish to stay cozy and warm inside.

A smile springs to my lips,
Nervous laughter comes to my heart,
Like a long lost friend, visiting for a while.
