Smile for them all

by Manahill Naik
It hurt when she saw
The lights going dim
Flickering
Then dark came in
She was a petal of that sunflower
That grew up afar
That was kissed everyday
By dawning sun, and setting rays
But
When the lights died
She witnessed
And silently cried
*
He reflected the dark
In his good eyes
He had a firefly
In his right palm
That helped him stay
Immutably calm
He was a mirror
For the world
They reflected in him
What they preffered
And he reflected in him
Even if he suffered
**
See
That unfortunate flower
That started to grow
Down below
In the pit
Where no one could reach
No light, no air
Wonder
How did it breathe?
It shut it self
From existence
And dreamt
Of a hand
Reaching out
Its there
No running away now
***
At times
People don't need space
That time
Invade their space
Barge in
Drag out
Let them
Scream
And shout
Teach them
To walk
Blend in the crowds
Colour
Paint them their needed laughter
And when they weep
Raise up their chin
Just pass away that smile
That you possess
Neither for yourself
Nor for no one else
Don't let it perish
Give away
A smile they need
For the wounds that bleed
Stop the gore
Smile
For them all
