THE CAUSE OF SMILE

the painful echoes vibrating

from the valleys of 

emotions, the life looks 

redundant,where again the 

mirror is broken, my 

image is scattered on the 

floor,though twilight has 

mosaic beauty,

why wounded smoke raising 

from the lamps,unknown 

face, sitting isolated, 

I don't know the reason behind 

the gloomy faces,who are 

those strange shadows,   

eagerly looking towards the sky 

its rain s prophesy, or a messianic

thought preparing for sacrifice,

gazing the glassy cross,

someone hiding, pasted the 

advertisement of season,

life almost passed

in waiting of all wellness's

 spring, didn't see anybody smiling,       

continuous a comprehensive 

silence dominated the life,

an emptiness of mausoleum,

people had have said, somewhere 

here is existed the stair of heaven,

Hadn't see you in the mist 

smokes of pain  were raising 

echoes were breaking, scattering

on the trail some pieces of 

mirror were laying carelessly,

lamps breathed at last, 

life waited till the break of day

a cause to smile, everybody could 

share a beautiful short life.
