A smile is a beautiful mystery.
Original DDE™ art: “Smiling Faces” — by: rob kistner © 3/29/26
—-<§>—-
faces emerge and recede
each smile a brief crossing
we linger there
in the gentle overlap
of presence and memory
something travels quietly
through all of us—
an invisible curiosity…
…not owned
…not named
it flickers dimly
like a thought
half-formed
touching the edges
of who we are
and just as it becomes clear
it leaves us—
wondering
<~>
