The Cost Of A Smile
Clocks are not ticking in unison
still they compliment each other
echoing each others voice
The intimacy
between space and time
is no more than an afterthought
that lingers without boundaries
The vastness of a clear blue sky
reflects the outstretched sea
to hold the mirrored image therein
So what of man's emotions
aimed at his fellow man
will they mimic that space and time
Or will he shun self sacrifice
adhering to the center self
then dying all alone
How quickly we forget
what it is to want
do we not remember
what it feels like to need
wrapped tightly in our safe cocoons
While others suffer
their fated wounds
oh yes
we have forgotten
how to give
So what is the cost of a smile

Some very...
philosophical thoughts going on here. I like the last lines, but I would love to see a question mark at the end. ~ Geez.
