An Arctic Smile
happiness, sadness slide on waterfalls,
bitter monologue jumping head first
on the edge of the Atlantic ocean
It looms with yellow, blue and white prisms
In a moss of continental divide
It hears rumbles, sounds of the earth
signaling a wave of Tsunami, an earthquake
and listens for vibrating echos of prophetic chants
tumbling water melting glaciers
while thoughts twirl, snowflakes hitch a ride on
sleigh covered with satin maple leaves, skates on
ice, escapades a mountain ride with Sufi's humor,
the wind that carries a heavy suitcase,
an inn of life's secret compartment,
zipped in silence; the moon whistles
a tune in it's half light,
snowflakes tumble one by one
escaping into blue skies, powderdust,
an arctic rainbow's smile
