Is it Not

Is it not the smile
that lights up the world?

The chill of fresh air
that makes that smile?

The morning dew
that forms the chill?

The silent night
that lays the dew to rest?

The etch of darkness
that makes up the night?

The pencil
that colors in the dark?

The poem
written by the pencil?

The reader
who smiles about the poem which lights up the world?

The picture this conveys in my mind: A valley, full of beautiful green grass with trees and mountains in the distance. Someone sits in that field bellow the light of the full moon, stars dotting the sky, lighting up the dew covered grass. That person begins to write their soul unto a piece of paper, and whatever is written, is written in a bright glow in the dark green glow, just bright enough to light the smile on that person's face.
very well done! ^^

I agree with your thoughts in the poem. The goal of a writer is to create thoughts and send the reader to a better place. I like the flow of thoughts and the logical ending to the excellent poem.

One for the road, the highway of dreams. I shall sleep well tonight. And that with a smile on my face! I don't know what brings it on but it is quite a pleasant and useful thing to be. Wondering, in my random sort of way, how the poem would read if it were written backward from its end to the beginning. Probably would have the same effect, but still a thought. Good night. I need to stop some time. Lol.

...I like the idea of the title being used as the pre-fix for each line...cool.:)

A little polishing and it would be a wondrous modern classic.

Cheers to your spirit.
