On Seeing An Infant's Photograph*

what enchanting lands are let loose behind those eyes? the smile tells me several stories of those far away lands that have been so much part of your world, now my first lesson to you, my love lose not that smile filling your world and mine with bliss unbound come what may my second lesson to you, my love when stress and strain wears you down close those eyes just as you do now even for a wink to revisit those lands of your blissful infancy for revival and rejuvination... *a wonderful photograph with a unique smile on the infant's face...
