Yesterday, I looked happy again

I caught a moment

Looking right at the lens

Hoping your eyes may see

Sun glistened on my hair

A bright glow on my face

My honey lips upturned with joy

Pushing my apple cheeks skyward

Those rays inside burst forth

Straight through clouds of gray

That hovered in the wake of despair

But that beating warmth never dims

Love burns endlessly

Even if a soft flame consealed

Oil need not replenish the flame

What two souls do not extinguish
