within a smile

the wolf

the thought of happiness
had been foreign to him for so long
the art of smiling and laughter ,… lost
falling oh so fast and not knowing
how to slow his descent
he took a random shot in the dark
to him he felt like he may as well be trying
to lasso the moon,…
the result being the feeling of walking on the moon
the innocence, or maybe not so innocent,
the pure beauty he now saw
the feelings of being alive for the first time in,…..
how long had it been,
since he had felt the power of hope?
the desire to live,
and be something more, someone better?
the power of loss had held him under
for far too long
it was time that he learned to live again
learned to trust again
found the will inside his very soul to believe,….
in a single truth
to believe in a word,….
the thought of love,
sent shivers down his spine
the feeling of happiness,
so overpowering
the idea that a random shot in the dark
could heal his broken spirit,..
could lift the shroud of darkness,….
could show him to the light,..?
would have never crossed his mind
the knowledge that had eluded him for so long
now at his fingertips,,…
the burden of his past,…
his failures did not define him,
the knowledge that happiness could be achieved,
and freedom,..
could exist within a smile
