dancing eyes

she found herself
on top of a cloud one day,
and she watched as
all the ladders to the ground
fell away

there she was,
up so high,
from now on
she would have to fly,
to trust the wings
she came with,
wings of pure joy

what else ever held more power,
more fuel than this?

just look how many smiles
she keeps "producing" every day--
barrels and barrels
just shining
and flashing
in every moment,
one to another,
only giving increase

that's the way the world
really works

nothing else in the world
can light up another human being
like your smile,
your eyes dancing with glee!

it's ok,
they say,
it's really, really all
ok
