Pristine eloquence

Before you were trained  how to smile
you had the smile deep inside you
that bursts like waterfall.
The moon would not say to you:
I have shone for you all night, dear friend
except  for the moments when  the clouds
got in the way.
I have shone for you all night.
It is your turn now
to wash my feet and serve meal all day.
The moon would never say that to you.
When you smile for someone
don't put a price tag on your lips or your eyes.
A thing of pristine eloquence
cannot be purchased with money.
It is only accessed with the heart's longing.
