A smile a day: A poem 

The earth’s fecund brown breast 

knows best, that every little forest 

with its multitude of tongues 

is its effervescent lung 

Mighty is a little trivial 

when it stokes a revival 

The gunshot of a flame 

sets off a thrilling game 

The bare miniscule of a moment 

that bears an encouraging compliment 

makes a jet rocket of a day 

headed for the sun’s way 

So come to me with mirth’s freebie 

And the welcome glow of a shady tree 

The miracle is only in a mere smile 

that can help a paraplegic run a mile

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
