answer with smiles

it might never illuminate
the masses looking beyond physicality
bravery under armor worn
bravery in armor removed
ask why and answer with only smiles
ask how but might never know
don’t ask if you understand
gaining momentum daily lifted
hands high in thanks gone back
to words unwritten might never
gain acceptance he reads and rereads
night is dark waiting not unlike
other nights when illumination undoubted
sun has risen lighting his night
rebirth somehow daily
and maybe simply the illumination
of a dream looking deeper
bravery in words etched
bravery in ink stained reminds
ask why answer with only smiles
ask why if it’s truly unknown
don’t ask if you understand…
