"The Grinning One."
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD
I
Just why do you smile I asked myself
when all that is bleak is unfolding
when there is nothing but death that leaves comforting
Just why do you smile?
II
In that grin that bears no malice
Holding the sweetness of the innocent
and the longing of the pure from within
there is reason to hope still
III
And there is sweetness in that last embrace
The warmth lingering in the parting
A silent kiss in the darkness
And the cold of the following morning.
