The Stillness of Her Smile

I wish...
In small enticing circles
Across each smile she gives me;
I travel softly
From one corner of her mouth
And to the other
With the words "I love you"
Lingering
Between the soft spots in the air.
She is an effect of change
Brought by a silence in her eyes
And a stillness, pure as beauty
Suggestive of the peace
Of knowing one's true place in life
And knowing
That no matter where I go from here
It was right here
In small enticing circles
In the stillness of her smile
Where my whole life began.
