The Smile

A smile.

How can one convey

Something so simple,

Something so complex?

With words

And letters.

Characters and spaces.

In black and white.

This is true magic.

You smile.

I hear your tone

in the way you arrange your figures.

I can see you smile through your pen,

fingers sliding ,

across smooth white paper, gliding.

Almost like a caress

The lines of your face wrinkling,

your eyes crinkling. 

Your mirth and joy

are contagious.

I smile.

Your mission complete,

the work counted worthwhile.

I like it .. only a smile of yours can make others smile , nothing can convey better meaning than a simple sweet smile of yours

In what way do you mean clear up NaCl?

[NaCl]

I didn't quite understand it at first, the beginning needs some clearing up, but the end bit was well done and easy to read. Nice job.

I love this one. Smiles, I think, are one of the best things in life, and you have very accurately and beautifully conveyed them. Great job!
