SMILES

Remembrance by Maureen Sevilla   Small hand in large one, looks awestruck and trusting  Rocking on horses Giggling with friends  Hiding toothless grins  Behind chubby hands  Flying down streets, spinning wheels beneath tiny feet Awesome in denim  Chuckling with friends Hiding toothy smiles  Behind tender hands  Dance cheek-to-cheek, thoughts heartfelt and loving  Sparkles in dresses  Laughing with friends  Hiding smiling lips  Behind slender hands  Hellos - Farewells, life's emotions run high  Rocking on porches  Gabbing with friends  Sporting empty gums  Behind wrinkled hands Crying at life,  Beginnings and Endings  Giggling, chuckling, laughing  Smiling or grinning  Behind blue veiled hands

Dream On

Flying by Maureen Sevilla   Light. Airy. With but a thought, I elevate And sweep through rooms at ceiling tops. Escape through doors Flying. Jumping. Running feet lift up from grassy knolls Float high over rainbow colored fields. Floral scents rise up to meet me. Gracefully. Boldly. I soar amidst cloudless blue expanse Above endless stands of mottled greens Until the tug of consciousness Looming. Weighty. Awareness fights certain gravity A leaden mass of dragging descent I am hopelessly earthbound.

Writing

The Pen by Maureen Sevilla The pen has power It slides, it glides Over processed wood I feed, it leads.
